ATHLETE EXPERIENCE
“Elevation Everest was the hardest race of my life…. And I absolutely loved every minute of it! Coming from Florida, I was way outside my element as I started this run. The scenes within the trail are absolutely beautiful and I was ready to conquer this race and all the challenge it brought.
I made so many new friends on this course, as we had the time to talk during the hike, and I felt more encouragement from these athletes than any other race I’ve ever been it. Everyone was truly in this for the group and I felt that bond-ship on the mountain. Can’t wait to try Elevation Everest again soon! I’ll be back.”
Jorge Suarez, The Half Everest 2024
“This was a big come back race for me. I️ missed registration and Dan worked to find room for me. His Kindness and true care felt like we had been friends for years. This race was really special. It felt like a group of family and friends working to achieve remarkable goals. So many races have lost that feeling. The course was epic. I️ can't wait to run this race again next year!”
Nicki Coghill, The Half Everest 2024
“Elevation Everest was a wonderful experience. I️ love hiking but this was a different experience. The Team and volunteers were awesome. Positive people, great music, and even when the hike got hard, everyone helped everyone - even the elite athletes. Can't wait for next year to take on 10 laps and destroy it!”
Chef Charles, The Half Everest 2024
“Elevation Everest was one of the most challenging, yet most rewarding experiences I've ever had! From the amazing Base area, the beauty that is Winter Park Resort, to seeing others smash their goals, it's a must-attend event! I️ can't wait to come back next year!”
Kelsey Bellanca, The Half Everest 2024
“What an amazing race! We had a blast at Elevation Everest! It was an intimate course on a large mountain with tons of great people. The volunteers made it so fun and the DJ was great.”
Matthew Hammel, The Half Everest 2024
“Dan's personal touch & constant availability to us participants stood out. The staff was remarkable and the aid stations were manned with wonderful, enthusiastic people who we're consistently encouraging, FUN, and showed great care for the athletes.”
Nicola Baer, The Half Everest 2024
“So grateful this organization put this race together! Whatever level each participant did, they accomplished their own Everest. With that, we all have the challenge to climb more next year. As Sir Edmund said "it is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."
Kristina Ziehler, The Half Everest 2024
“If you're looking for that next endurance event to test you physically, mentally, and emotionally, this is it. Mindset is everything. Finishing all 10 laps was an incredibly proud moment for me after a very grueling experience.”
