Spokane, WA

The Kan is back for its second year!! Explore alpine meadows, huckleberry groves, and old pine forests as you weave through Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park and the best trails the State Park has to offer. Available at 50k, 25k, and 10k options, The Kan provides a mountain race feel but on a fast course. We will have improved course markings from last year as well. You don't have to be a "runner" to do a trail race! Stick around to celebrate after the event with food and drinks. Packet pickup will be at the Spokane Fleet Feet the night before. As of this year, we will have chip timing for all distances! We are also thrilled to partner with Maurten as our comprehensive nutrition sponsor. Maurten creates the most cutting edge fueling products, sponsors the Boston Marathon, and supports countless world class athletes. Finally, check out the course maps/profiles on our website: ponderosaracing.com.

The 50k provides 6,000ft of elevation gain- perfect for mountain lovers and flat speedsters alike. The course begins with a 6.8 mile loop, immediately dropping 1,400ft over 3 miles, then climbing Trail 110 back to the Start! After restocking at the Start Aid Station, runners begin a fast second loop (8 miles) on XC ski trails, cruising around Shadow Mountain. After restocking at the Start Aid Station a second time, runners begin the 25k course by traversing through the Ski Park then climbing up the Cat Track and Northwest Passage to the Summit!! After bombing down the backside switchbacks and hitting the 3rd Aid Station, runners circle Kit Carson then climb back to the same Aid Station. Finally, runners traverse through Bald Knob and bomb down to the Finish!
