About the Race

The VK covers some of Squaw Valley’s most iconic terrain in a short, steep, and physically demanding sprint. From the valley floor, runners will ascend over 3,100 feet in a mere 3.1 miles to the summit of near 8,885-foot Squaw Peak. In true Skyrunning fashion, the course begins as a dispersed mass start, ascends steep and technical off-trail talus, and finishes on an exposed ridge. The ridge to 8,885-foot Squaw Peak includes a bolted handline and the infamous Stairway to Heaven ladder. The Vertical Kilometer course will contain steep slabs of rock, potential snow slopes, scree and exposure. Come prepared!
