The MAC – In Classic Form!

We will be back on the classic, iconic course.  And it’s going to be EPIC.

Big climbs, steep scrambles, and high altitude views – we know you expect nothing less from The MAC.

5K – This race is fun, challenging, and achievable for all ages and ability levels.

15K – Be forewarned, this race will push you to your limits!  In true mountain race format there will be high elevation, steep climbs, questionable footing…oh, and did I mention it’s all in grizz country?

What you get:

Serious bragging rights
Some rad MAC Schwag
Post-race burgers
Melvin Brewing Beer (and other beverages)

Saturday, August 26th, 2023
5K – $40
15K – $70
Course maps and directions to the start can be found here: https://caltopo.com/m/K13U
Must be registered by August 9th, 2023 to be guaranteed MAC Schwag

Due to the sustainability of the traditional course, we may be doing a slight re-route at the end to avoid massive erosion and safety hazards. It has been called the “death plunge” and this year we will evaluate conditions to make it slightly less “deathy.”
