The Broken Arrow Skyrace, Presented by Salomon, represents the first official Skyrace to occur in California. This iconic race encompasses more than just running. It is a true test of how fast you can move through the mountains.
The course races up mountain trails, scrambles across ridgelines and up gullies, and speeds through Tahoe’s forests. It provides a rewarding challenge for everyone who wants to test themselves in the mountains.
The race will start in Squaw Valley, home of the 1960 Winter Olympics and the starting point of the Western States Endurance Run, and romps through the mountainous terrain surrounding the area.
