Mt Yonah Vertical Race

Join Team Summit for the inaugural Mount Yonah Vertical Race. Participants will have TWO options upon registration:
-5,000ft of climbing over 3 summits of Yonah, totaling roughly 25km.
-10,000ft of climbing over 6 summits of Yonah, totaling roughly 50km.

The trail is technical and steep for the majority of the climb, with few sections of scrambling required. As you get closer to the summit, the path becomes double-track and some participants may even be able to run this section. After-party hosted at NoFo Brew Co - 2 miles from the trailhead!

The race course follows the Yonah Mountain hiking trail up to the summit of the mountain. From there you will pass the overlook before returning down the mountain. The trail is runnable in some sections, rocky and rooty in others, and a few spots require scrambling over boulders. The race will start with a quick out and back on the gravel road leading to the trail-head, this is so runners will thin out before hitting the trail. Each time you return from your summit, you will repeat the same out and back, this is necessary to achieve the distance and vert advertised.
