Do you want to race but can’t afford the entry fee? We can help with our Trail Mix Fund.

 

Schedule

There is no Gnar Gnar this year. Since Go Beyond Racing is producing the Oregon 200 (yes, a 200-mile race) in August, there isn’t room in the month for Gnar Gnar, and there are no other available dates. We’ll be back in in 2024!

  • Bib Pickup at Skibowl: 7:00-7:45 a.m. (Photo ID is required)
  • Race Announcements: 7:50 a.m.
  • Women’s Start: 8:00 a.m.
  • Men’s Start: 8:10 a.m.
  • Awards Ceremony: 9:30 a.m.
  • Course Closes: 10:00 a.m. (ride the alpine slide down if miss cutoff)

Awards

All finishers will receive a Gnar Gnar pint glass. The top three overall men and women win prizes from Nike Trail. There are also age group awards (10-year increments) and non-binary awards.
