About the race
Flagstaff Sky Peaks is a three day trail race weekend at Arizona Snowbowl in Flagstaff, Arizona, held September 25–27, 2026. The program includes a dedicated hill climb day, a full day of distance races and fixed-time loop events, and a final day of mountain races. Distances and formats offered include: - 50 Mile - 50K - 26K - 11K - 5K - 12 Hour fixed-time event - 6 Hour fixed-time event - Mountain 20K - Mountain 6K - Agassiz Hill Climb (1.4 miles) The Agassiz Hill Climb is a short, steep ascent that gains about 2,100 feet over roughly 1.4 miles and finishes near the Arizona Gondola helipad; runners descend via the gondola after the climb. Many Saturday races begin with the Agassiz Loop, a multi-mile climb that reaches approximately 11,500 feet before continuing on each race’s course.
The 6 and 12 hour events use repeated laps of that loop; each loop accumulates substantial elevation gain. The Mountain 20K is a point to point race with a large initial climb and a steep descent to Agassiz Lodge; shuttles run to the Mountain 20K start. The Mountain 6K begins and ends at Agassiz Lodge, climbs to near the gondola, then descends ski runs. Poles are allowed for all distances. Aid stations, drop bag locations, and crew or pacer permissions vary by distance; crews and drop bags are available at Agassiz Lodge for many races.
Cutoffs and time limits apply to each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
