The Mt Difficulty Ascent is a mountain trail ‘run’ of either half or full marathon distance. Some sections of the ascent are between 40-50'. Another section has a 200m roped descent, mostly to keep you on course but also as a safety requirement. If that’s making you uncomfortable already, good! This event is not for everyone. On the same day we also offer an alternative Marathon or Half Marathon event - The Rustic Run/Walk with a range of easy to moderate options to choose from.
If you are ‘as excited as all-hell!’ Great – keep reading.
This is an ADVENTURE RUN/TREK folks, the ‘adventure’ part means you cant run all of this course. The ups are really UP! You’ll be hands on knees, puffing just to walk, and at times you will be using your hands to help you scramble up some dirty, rocky slopes, maybe churning through snow. This is an extreme event for the extreme-inclined.
