A new course. A new challenge. ⛰️🏃

This round of the Mountain Run Trail Series starts from the top of the Catamount Chair, sending you straight onto Showdown Trail, where sweeping Columbia Valley views and vibrant alpine wildflowers.

From there, you'll climb to the bottom of Bowl Over before tackling the trail all the way to the top of the gondola. But the adventure doesn't stop there.

You'll connect with Stairway Trail and continue climbing all the way to the weather station at Whitetooth—our highest point of the course. Catch your breath, soak in the views, then turn around and let the descent carry you back to the gondola summit and the finish.

It's a route that rewards every climb with unforgettable scenery, fresh mountain air, and a true alpine running experience.
