Quest for the Crest 50k/25k/11k

Experience the ultimate challenge at the Quest for the Crest 50k/25k/11k by Run Bum Races, known for being one of the toughest mountain races in North America. With jaw-dropping views and intense elevation gains of up to 12,000 ft in the 50k, 4,500 ft in the 25k, and 3,300 ft in the 11k, this event is not for the faint of heart. Participants will navigate technical trails, climb peaks including Mt. Mitchell, and face steep sections that may require ropes. All finishers receive a medal, pint glass, and hat or beanie, with free race photos and a shuttle ride to the start. Take on the challenge and test your limits in this epic race, but be warned that this is not for beginners and requires serious mountain experience. Prepare to tackle the unforgiving terrain and push yourself to new heights. Secure your spot early as this event sells out fast every year.
