Join the 2nd annual Dragon’s Tail Stair Climb Challenge, the newest and most intense race, where only the fiercest runners will rise to the challenge! Set against the backdrop of towering steps, this unique competition is unlike anything you've seen before. Participants will face a brutal flight of 333 stairs—descending then climbing as many times as they can. Each lap completed brings them one step closer to victory, but only the last runner standing will claim the title of Dragon King or Queen. Click the link above to register now!!   Race Overview: This event includes three race options: a 5K/1K run-walk, a Sprint Challenge, and an Endurance Challenge. The staircase will be closed to the public during all races.   5K & 1K Run/Walk (7:30 AM): Starts at the top of the stairs, loops the Tech Ridge Trail, drops to the bottom of the staircase, and finishes with the climb back up.   Sprint Challenge (9:00 AM): Run in heats — fastest time overall wins bragging rights and a special prize.   Endurance Challenge (10:00 AM–4:00 PM): A lap starts every 12 minutes. Participants descend and re-climb the staircase each lap. There are 25 total laps, with a final timed sprint to determine overall male + female winners. Finishers receive a medal after the first lap and milestone awards along the way. Complete all laps = you’ve climbed the equivalent of a 5K of stairs!

Along the way, aid stations will keep you fueled and supported so you can settle in, have fun, and enjoy the run. Clothing drop is available at the start (just avoid packing valuables), and after you cross the finish, you’ll head to the Runners Area for snacks, recovery, and high-fives all around.   We're excited to support this race and the amazing runners who make our local running community so special!
