About This Race
The 5K at Brundage Mountain Summit Cat Track offers newcomers to mountain running an accessible introduction to high-altitude trail racing without the extended commitment of the 10K distance. Runners tackle the same challenging cat track terrain but with a shorter exposure to the elevation and technical demands, making this distance ideal for those testing their mountain legs or seeking a fast, intense effort at altitude. The abbreviated distance allows runners to push a harder pace while still experiencing the unique demands of summit racing, creating an excellent stepping stone for those considering longer mountain challenges.
