Cascade Crest 100 is an ultramarathon race held in Washington state. Founded in 1999, it is 100miles in length with over 23000feet of elevation gain.[1] It is considered one of the most challenging mountain trail ultras in the United States, and is a qualifier for both the Western States Endurance Run and Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run.
Starting and finishing in Easton, Washington, Cascade Crest is a loop within the Cascade Mountains. Rugged and steep, the course includes many difficult sections including a rope-assisted descent, a 2.3 mile railroad tunnel, and some notoriously overgrown sections of trail.[2] [3] Randy Gehrke founded the race in 1999,[4] and the course most recently changed in 2016 to include additional elevation gain.
