This was Beast of Big Creek 2026!
Watch the recap video of the return of skyrunning to the USA and North America's only stop on the Skyrunner World Series.
We started it, we’ll keep it going, here’s the breakdown for this weekend’s inaugural Rock Candy Mountain Run. The namesake race of our race organization Rock Candy Running is a 12 Hour Mountain Endurance race. Runners chase vert from sunrise to sunset on Rock Candy Mountain in the Capitol Forest. The loop is 6 miles with 1,800ft. of vertical gain with plenty of gnarly singletrack, roots, rocks and other fun stuff.
We have are a total of 25 runners registered. 17 are women. Yepp, that’s 68%.
And while we’ll be starting in the dark with headlamps, the starting line will look so great. Can’t wait for this weekend.
