Starting at the base of Squaw Valley USA (6200’) the course climbs the 3.6 mile mountain run to High Camp (8200’) where awards, raffle, music, light refreshments & beer are provided.

Participants can choose to RUN or take a more leisurely pace and HIKE or Nordic walk (hike with poles). For the less energetic – let the cable car do the 2000 foot elevation gain & participate in the beautiful 3 mile FLOWER WALK on easy rolling terrain.

Help fight Cancer

For many the event has become a way to celebrate life following personal struggles with cancer or in memory of a loved one who may have been less fortunate.

There will be a flag at registration for those who wish to sign, and write names of loved ones. The flag will be carried up by a volunteer participant and we will hold a short prayer ceremony at the Awards ceremony. 20% of funds raised from The Squaw Mountain Run go to Tahoe Forest Cancer Center to help cancer patients afford the care they need. In the last three years the event has donated $7000 to the Cancer Center. www.tahoecancercenter.com.
