Video from the 2015 Whiteface Vertical K
In just a couple of weeks we will be making our way to one of our favorite playing grounds, the Adirondacks in New York State for the 5th running of the Whiteface Sky Runs! This is an epic weekend of racing and the 3rd race of the New York Trail Series sponsored by Salomon.
It starts off Saturday morning with an easy run up Whiteface Mountain, gaining 3,300 feet in just 2.4 miles! Sunday’s adventure includes 15.4 miles with over 8,000 feet of climbing! Weather plays a major role in preparation for these races so keep a close eye on the weather report and be prepared for it all.
We look forward to seeing you there! For more information about the course and for race registration, click here. To check out some of our past videos, photos and race reports, click here.

This years Sky Marathon had a bit of an added challenge with the torrential downpours the night before and throughout the day. Runners were in knee deep mud at times and battling 50+mph winds near the summit.
The weekend of June 27th marked the inaugural Whiteface Skyrunning weekend, and I was eager to test myself in a new discipline of racing.

There is nothing quite like the Whiteface Sky Racing weekend. Not only does it have the only vertical K in the Northeast on Saturday, the Sky Race on Sunday has another two VK’s! My goal for this year’s Sky Race was to run faster...
