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.

Is happening again this weekend. I reported on this new ‘trail experience’ last year already, but I wanted to share it one more time not just because the photos of the event shared on Instagram look amazing but also because most of the marketing is done in the native French and thus it flies a bit under the radar to us based in the US. The event created and hosted by Carline and François D’Haene feels like a perfect antidote to the craziness of the big mountain UTMB festivities in Chamonix a couple weeks prior and just a couple valleys over.
