Covering the toughest trails available, this is the ultimate Bootleg Canyon challenge!Traverse the most technical trails and toughest climbs as you test your legs and your resolve.

Those of you that run our Dirty Doubles and Happy Hour Challenges, this is for you! If you run tough hills and mountains as much as possible, this is for you! If you've ever wanted a 5-mile run to feel like you just ran 10 miles (or a 10-mile run to feel like 20 miles), then this is for you! Beginner trail runners are highly discouraged from participating in this event.

Course Information:

5M Course – 5 miles, 1,000 ft of vertical climb

The most physically challenging course, the 5M starts out running down Middle Lake View until it hits Ginger, at which point things get fun! The next 3/4 mile consists of an 850ft climb that requires both your hands AND feet at times. The reward for finishing the climb up Red Mountain is running down Hike-A-Bike followed by a trek down the most technical trails in Bootleg Canyon: Skyline and East Leg.

10M Course – 10 miles, 2,000 ft of vertical climb

The most mentally challenging course, the 10M starts by running the physically challenging 5M course, then continues on Upper Lake View to the G-String downhill trail, to Lower Lake View, and finally to the River Mountain Hiking Trail and the grinding climb towards and up Bootleg Canyon's infamous switchbacks. Once the switchbacks have been conquered, your run will continue up Hike-A-Bike to the top of Red Mountain before descending down Snakeback, a 800-ft drop over 1.1 miles.
