Mt Ashland Hill Climb : June 6, 2027
The Mt Ashland Hill Climb is an uphill trail event that starts in Lithia Park (elev 1900 feet) and finishes at the Mt Ashland summit (elev 7500 feet), covering about 13.5 miles with over one mile of elevation gain. The course begins on pavement, continues on a long fire road up a shaded mountainside, and finishes on a steep single track to the summit.
Registration opens January 1 and prices increase on May 1. Youth entrants receive reduced registration costs. Race fees include a race shirt, lunch, snacks, beer, and age group prizes. If the event is canceled, registrations may be rolled over to the following year but refunds are not offered.
Aid stations are placed along the course and are supplied with water, electrolytes, gels, blocks, snacks, and fruit. Named aid locations include White Rabbit, 4 Corners, Bull Gap, and Mt A Lodge. Finish area access may be limited depending on snow, which can affect vehicle access and water availability at the summit. Drop bags are accepted and should contain only a small change of clothes and warm layers.
Packet pick up is available the day before at Rogue Valley Runners in downtown Ashland, with a limited day of pick up for those unable to attend earlier.
All proceeds benefit local organizations that support trails and youth mountain biking, including the Ashland Woodland and Trails Association, Ashland DEVO, and the Rogue Valley Mountain Bike Association. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
