Wolf Song Running Adventures is pleased to announce the 2024 Alberta Peak Challenge at Wolf Creek Ski Area.
Register early at early bird prices to save, and secure your spot; the event is capped at 150 entrants. Early bird pricing is valid through June 30.
Conquer the climb at the Alberta Peak Challenge and you’ll be rewarded with stunning 360-degree views of the San Juan Mountains. The Alberta Peak Challenge is a 4-mile and 12-mile trail race that starts and finishes at the base area of Wolf Creek Ski Area. The race course follows the gravel roads, double-track and single-track trails within and around the ski area boundary and includes the Continental Divide and Treasure Mountain trails. Bring your climbing legs as both races have a significant amount of elevation gain at high altitudes.
A portion of the proceeds from our 2024 trail running series will benefit local Pagosa Springs non-profit, Upper San Juan Search and Rescue.
