Fleet Feet X Salomon Ascent Challenge
About this race
SALOMON ASCENT CHALLENGE WITH FLEET FEET CHICO
How much elevation can you rack up?
Join Fleet Feet Chico and Salomon for a month-long Ascent Challenge leading up to the Fleet Feet Fall Trail Classic. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or just getting started, this is your chance to get outside, explore Upper Bidwell Park, and see how much elevation you can collect along the way.
From your regular training runs to weekend adventures and local trail outings, every climb counts. Challenge yourself, invite your friends, and see how high you can climb throughout the month.
We'll kick things off at our Salomon Trail Pub Run on September 17th, where you can learn more about the challenge, try out Salomon trail shoes, and connect with other local runners.
The challenge runs through October 17th, giving you one month to build your elevation before race day.
You don't have to be fast. You don't have to run every day. Just get out there, find a trail, and start climbing.
Explore. Climb. Sweat. Smile. Repeat.
Let's see how high Chico can climb together!
