Community is at our core

At Elevation Everest, community is at the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to create a race that brings like-minded athletes together to reach new heights. With every lap, you’ll feel the sense of encouragement and camaraderie from fellow athletes, our volunteers, and staff.

ATHLETE EXPERIENCE

“I️ 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 in. 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, HALF EVEREST 2024

“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. Logistically things ran very smoothly. I can’t wait to run this race again next year!”

— NICKI COGHILL, HALF EVEREST 2024

“Elevation Everest was a wonderful experience. I love hiking but this was a different experience. The team & volunteers were awesome and so many positive people. Even when the hike got hard, everyone helped out everyone, even the elite athletes. Can't wait for next year to take on 10 laps and destroy it.”

— CHEF CHARLES, HALF EVEREST 2024
