CANCELED - Broken Arrow Skyrace Course Preview & Training Run
DUe to poor air quality, this event is canceled.
Join us for our annual fall Course Preview and Training Run on Saturday, August 7th at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows!
If you’ve never been to a course preview training runs … you are in for a treat. Course marshal Steve Hammond, along with race directors Ethan Veneklasen and Geoff Quine AND other local hero trail runners will guide participants on a magnificent 26k-ish loop on the high alpine trails of Squaw Valley.
This is a great way to see the course first hand, while you get in a solid training run with roughly 4,500-feet of gain, at altitude ... complete with epic views of Lake Tahoe. This is a supported run with two aid stations; one at Easy Street (mile 6.0) and one at High Camp (mile 12.2). Each aid station will offer Spring Energy nutrition and Tailwind drink mix. If you have specific nutrition needs, please come prepared.
While we will show you MOST of the 26k course, we always leave a little out to keep your imagination firing AND some great, unexpected fun on race day!
Please also note that the training run requires registration and is limited to 100 people. The cost is $59 and includes both a light breakfast at Coffeebar and a pizza/salad buffet (and soda!) at Fireside Pizza after the run. All runners will receive a free pair of Darn Tough Vermont Socks as well as goodies from Klean Kanteen, Squirrel’s Nut Butter, Spring Energy and more.
Our friends from Salomon Running will join us with a demo set of their most popular trail models and LEKI USA will also join the party with plenty of demo Skyrunning poles for your enjoyment. And, of course, our retail partner, Alpenglow Sports will provide Salomon, LEKI, Darn Tough Vermont Socks and Spring discount coupons to be redeemed at their Tahoe City location.
We will break participants into 4-5 groups, based on rough expected finishing pace. Each group will be led by two leaders and the group will remain as a unit for the entirety of the run. Please note that if you sign up for this event we require that you stay with your group from start to finish, meaning you cannot descend the mountain on your own free will. This is a “no-drop” run and the goal is training AND friendly camaraderie. We want you to enjoy the day, make new friends and celebrate the ability to GATHER again!
The group will meet at 7am at the start line at the far end of the Village where you can enjoy a light breakfast and fresh cup of coffee, compliments of our friends at Coffeebar. The group will then break into pace groups before enjoying one lap on the course beginning at 8am. We will all then celebrate together over pizza, salad and adult beverages (not included in the cost of entry) at Fireside Pizza! For those of you who have dietary constraints, we’ve got you covered. There will be gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options available!
We will follow the recommended COVID-19 guidelines provided by the State of California, Placer County and our own medical staff. The safety of our runners will ALWAYS be our top priority. While the COVID-19 guidelines continue to evolve, we will communicate the specifics closer to the August 7th date via email.
Whether you've raced Broken Arrow or this is your first time joining us, this training run will let you cut your teeth amongst friends in a fun and encouraging environment. As always, all of our Broken Arrow Skyrace participants are rockstars .... so all abilities are welcome and encouraged to attend. However, you must be 16-years-old to run with the group for safety considerations.
Thanks kindly and happy trails!
