About the race
The Mt. Ashland Hill Climb on Sunday, June 6, 2027, is an uphill trail event in Ashland, Oregon. The course covers about 13.5 miles, beginning in Lithia Park (elev. 1,900 ft) and rising to the summit at 7,500 ft, for a total elevation gain of more than one mile. The route begins on pavement, continues up a long fire road on a shaded mountainside, and finishes on a steep single-track to the summit.
Aid stations are positioned along the course and are supplied with water, electrolytes, gels, blocks, snacks, and fruit. Notable aid locations include White Rabbit (about 3.7 miles in), 4 Corners (about 6.5 miles in), Bull Gap (about 10.3 miles in), and Mt A Lodge (about 12.7 miles in). The biking route splits at 4 Corners so most runners will see few cyclists before the finish.
Registration opens January 1 and registration fees increase on May 1. Youth athletes receive reduced registration costs; racers under 18 are eligible for a 50 percent discount. Race fees include a race shirt, lunch, snacks, beer, and prizes for age-group winners.
All proceeds benefit local trail and youth cycling organizations: the Ashland Woodland and Trails Association, Ashland DEVO, and the Rogue Valley Mountain Bike Association. Drop bags are allowed but should be small and should not contain valuables. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
