- 20K: A 20th anniversary double-loop course featuring 4,700 feet of vertical gain on rugged trails and technical descents.
- 1K Vertic-AL: A steep vertical scramble up the famed Al's Run ski trail, gaining 1,497 feet of elevation in a short distance.
- 1K Up & Dn: An untimed fun run for children aged 10 and under held on the Pioneer Run.
- Double Trouble: A multi-day combination event where participants complete both the 10K or 20K on Saturday and the 1K vertical race on Sunday.
The Saturday courses include technical descents and high-altitude ridgelines. Sunday's vertical race follows a steep black diamond ski run under Lift 1 and is restricted to participants aged 16 and older. All children participating in the junior event receive a finisher's medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
