💙 A Call to Action

If you or someone you know is affected by autoimmune disease, you know some days are better than others, and some are just bad. But each person shows courage day by day, making the decision to face the challenges of the ascent for that day. The important thing is to show the courage and determination needed as an affected person, a caregiver, a family member, or friend to make your ascent and be celebrated. We invite you, family, and friends to come join us in making this incredible event, cause, and day one for the memory books!

🚨 Event Safety Info

🌧️ Weather & Cancellation/Refund Policy

In the event of inclement weather, the start time of this event may be delayed by up to 1 hour. Past this time, the event course may be shortened or altered to protect the participants. All Next Level Race Management events proceed rain, shine, snow, or cold. For that reason, we have a strict no-refund policy.

If conditions turn unsafe, the event may be canceled. Event changes and cancellations are at the discretion of the Race Director.

We always strive to produce a full and safe sporting event, but sometimes weather conditions can affect those plans. Considerable amount goes into planning a sporting event and we do so with the best intentions. Unfortunately, no one can control the weather and race directors are not the exceptions.

Our goal is to always produce a full event as scheduled and only modify these plans due to safety concerns some of which can be caused by weather conditions.

If you are unable to participate in the event, you may contact the event organizer to obtain your packet at another time or if you purchased race insurance, follow the steps to obtain a refund for the event.

Thank you for your understanding of these policies and we appreciate your participation.
