14th Annual GORE-TEX Kahtoola Uphill Virtual Event

Gain some elevation in the New Year and help a great cause by joining the 14th annual GORE-TEX Kahtoola Uphill event. This year’s race is virtual and registration is now open for adventurers of the human-powered persuasion who want to run, walk, ski, hike, etc. and join the fun from wherever they call home, benefiting Friends of Camp Colton’s youth environmental education programs.

Event registration is easy and participants are encouraged to sign up by Feb. 19 (registration fee $25). Entrants then choose to complete one of two challenges between Feb. 20-28, 2021:

1) Sign up for the Bob Gore Discovery Climb as an individual or team of four. The goal is to get outside and record as much elevation gain as possible over nine days (racers can download the Strava app to easily keep track of time/elevation).

2) Alternatively, racers can test their grit with the Lumberyard Brewing Company Ultimate Challenge. Climb and descend 2,100 vertical feet as fast as humanly possible, in celebration of Kahtoola’s 21 years of dedication to outdoor adventures.
