Mount Bohemia is well known for being one of the premier adventure ski resorts in the nation. Trails consist of a combination of single track, double track, rolling hills and a few “good climbs.” The 50k and the ½ Marathon will gradually climb to the peak of the mountain and offer spectacular views from near the top of the chairlift. The 5k and the 10k will offer more gradual but still challenging terrain that traverses a scenic trail around the mountain. The 10k will take you nearly to the top, where you will be able to receive nutritional aid at one of our scenic outlooks on the back side of the mountain.
Those who take on our challenges of the Triple Threat and Yurt Crazy will enjoy some amazing camaraderie and breathtaking trails!
The Triple Threat is one of our most challenging events that encompasses the entire weekend of trail running. In this category racers will compete in the 5k and 10k races on Saturday. After and evening of recovery they will then lace up their speedy shoes to finish the weekend with our 1/2 marathon race on Sunday. The athletes in that register for this event will be competing against others in THIS category for overall awards. Are you up for a challenge on the trails? If so, this is an exciting opportunity to test your speed, endurance, and recovery abilities!
The Yurt Crazy category is our newest addition to the festival weekend! This category will contain the most extreme and fun loving trail racers. These athletes will complete the 50k race on Saturday, and after just one evening of recovery they will hit the trails once again Sunday morning for a "quick" 1/2 marathon race encompassing our staff's favorite resort trails. Are you ready for the ULTIMATE challenge? If so, jump on into this category of RoCK StaR racers and show us what you are made of!
