Wildfire Run: A Challenging Journey for a Great Cause Join the Wildfire Run on November 7, 2026, an event that pushes even the most seasoned runners to their limits. The course is designed as one of the toughest 10k races you'll encounter, featuring steep climbs and technical terrain. Spanning approximately 4.5 miles, this route ascends roughly 1700 feet in elevation, offering breathtaking views at its peak before descending back down to the finish line. Expect sections where hiking is necessary due to the challenging trail conditions, making trekking poles a valuable tool for support—especially recommended for less experienced runners. Carrying water throughout the race is essential as hydration stations are limited; there will be only one aid station near the summit offering refreshments and encouragement rather than additional supplies. For those seeking a more manageable challenge, consider participating in the 5k event instead, which follows a scenic loop around the park with less technical terrain but still provides beautiful vistas. All proceeds from this race go directly to support the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, ensuring that your participation contributes positively towards vital causes while enjoying an exhilarating run and a lively after-party at The 395 Craft Beer and Spirits. Join us for what promises to be both a rewarding personal challenge and a celebration of community spirit.
