Online registration is now open for the 46th Annual Baldy Hill Climb, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28. For the past 45 years, come rain, sun, or even snow, runners and hikers have made their way up Bald Mountain in support of Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF) cross country programming.
\n\u201cThe Baldy Hill Climb holds a special place in the heart of our cross country teams,\u201d said Kelley Yeates, SVSEF\u2019s Cross Country Assistant Program Director. \u201cIt\u2019s all hands on deck with our coaches, families, and athletes of all ages\u2014many volunteering their time to help with the event and others conquering the hill climb to test their summer training in anticipation of the ski season ahead. \u201d
\nOrganized by the SVSEF Cross Country Ski Teams, the course challenges participants to a grueling 1.86 miles and 3,140 vertical feet\u2014straight up from the bottom of Warm Springs to the summit of Bald Mountain at 9,020 feet. All participants receive a collectible event t-shirt and a refuel at the summit aid station. In addition, and in partnership with Sun Valley Company, participants receive a much-deserved ride down on the Challenger Lift after they finish.
\n\u201cThe Baldy Hill Climb marks the beginning of a new season for our cross country athletes,\u201d said Becky Flynn, SVSEF\u2019s Cross Country Program Director. \u201cIt\u2019s so inspiring to see our community come together to enjoy an awesome hike, run, or race up Baldy in support of our programming from our youngest XC Striders to our athletes on the XC Gold Team competing on the world stage.\u201d
\n\u201cWe are so grateful for our partnership with Sun Valley Company and all they do for SVSEF\u2014we wouldn\u2019t be where we are today without their belief in and commitment to our programs,\u201d added Flynn. \u201dWe also owe a special thank you to Olin Glenne and Sturtevant\u2019s for their title sponsorship\u2014they are so incredibly generous across our entire community and we couldn\u2019t be more appreciative for their support.\u201d
\nA $100 bonus is on the line in the race division for those who set a new course record. Morgan Arritola is the only woman to have beat the forty-minute mark in the history of the Baldy Hill Climb\u2014she holds the women\u2019s record set in 2010 at 39:51. Miles Havlick holds the men\u2019s record with a time of 35:04, set in 2014.
