Build my planFree to start · No credit card
A 100-mile endurance race through Washington's Cascade mountains featuring about 32 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail and over 23,000 feet of elevation gain.
What this race demands
Cascade Crest 100 demands sustained mountain climbing endurance over 160.9 kilometers and 7010 meters of elevation gain.
Extreme Vertical Gain
Navigating 7010 meters of elevation change across 160.9 kilometers requires prolonged climbing and descending strength, heavily loading the musculoskeletal system.
Ultra-Endurance Durability
Covering a 100-mile distance demands rigorous pacing, structural resilience, and management of systemic fatigue over many hours of continuous movement.
A race of this duration requires a consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels and prevent profound glycogen depletion.
