About the Event

Take on the Challenge! At the Palm Springs Tram Road Challenge, you'll climb almost 2,000 feet from the desert to the mountains in just 3.7 miles! You'll start at the intersection of Tram Way and Highway 111, with stunning views of the San Jacinto Mountains in front of you and the Coachella Valley behind. Choose to run your way up or take it easy for a nice uphill walk. No matter how you get there, when you reach the finish line, you'll enjoy a post-race festival with food, drink, booths, entertainment and awards for the winners. All participants receive a stylish finisher medal, cool race t-shirt, tasty post-race food and drink, and a bus ride back down the hill!! Awards for the top three in each age group will be given out to those registered in the Awards Eligible category, but everyone will be professionally timed! Sign up today and get ready to take on the challenge of a lifetime!
