Glacier Peak Alpine Fastpack

Course Overview
Friday Day 1
Meet at Bedal Campround, Darrington WA
We’ll meet runners Friday evening for a dinner and orientation. While runners will have have received plenty of pre trip-planning info, we’ll review the route, conditions, and make final equipment decisions based on the most current conditions.

Saturday Day 2
Run Pilot Ridge to High Camp: 23 miles, Elevation Gain +10,379
Runners will have the ability to travel at different paces along the trail sections of this run. However given the skills and remote nature of this entire course, the Aspire guides will communicate specific locations along the route to re-group. All runners will travel toether during “off trail” travel sections of this route. Runners generally complete this day in 8-11 hours.

Sunday Day 3
Summit Climb and Run Out: 21 Miles, Elevation Gain +9,490
We’ll wake early for sunrise conditions and an early summit bid. Runners will apply their glacier travel skills on the climb and descent. Once we’re off the mountain and back on the trail we’ll finish out the trip via a ridge run to a celebratory finish, dinner, and trip conclustion.
