Mt. Rose Hill Climb

The Mt. Rose Hill Climb is a fundraiser for Washoe County Sheriff's - Hasty Team, a non-profit team that provides year-round technical Search and Rescue services to the Washoe County community and surrounding mountains, rivers, lakes and deserts. Hasty Team Facebook

Join us on this 10+ mile, out-and-back course following the Mt. Rose Summit Trail to the spectacular 10,776' summit of Mt. Rose! The trail cuts through National Forest lands and the Mt. Rose Wilderness, passing beautiful scenery, waterfalls, and views of Lake Tahoe, Reno, and surrounding peaks. The race takes place entirely on single-track mountain trail, with a staggered start to allow racers to spread out.

Whether you want to test your strength and endurance, racing up 2,398 vertical feet at elevation (and 2,398 ft back down), or if you're interested in fresh air, exercise, and beautiful scenery, this course has something for any adventurous trail runner and hiker.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three female and male finishers.

*Although we'll do our best to provide accurate timing, please note this event is being timed with stop watches by search and rescue volunteers, not professional race timers. Please be courteous to all volunteers, enjoy racing the Mt. Rose Hill Climb, and thank you for supporting your local Search and Rescue Hasty Team!
