2022 GORE-TEX Kahtoola Uphill

Creating a healthy, safe, and fun environment for everyone is our utmost priority at this year's. Above all, our goal is to give everyone options during the event to ensure that there's a balance between fun and responsible event management.

Race Packet and Loaner Spikes Pick-Up

There are two times and locations to pick up your race packet and check out loaner spikes, and outdoor pick-up will be available at both locations.

• Friday February 11, 4pm to 7pm at Dark Sky Brewing Company
• Saturday February 12, 10am to 12pm at Kahtoola office

On Friday February 11, racers will be able to pick up their race packets at Dark Sky Brewing Company in Downtown Flagstaff from 4pm to 7pm. Kahtoola will also be on-site to loan out MICROspikes® footwear traction – limited pairs are available and will be loaned out on a first come, first served basis.

For individuals that would like to stay for food and drinks, complimentary small bites will be provided courtesy of Pizzicletta, and drinks will be available for purchase at the brewery. All health and safety protocols for Dark Sky Brewing Company will be in place, and masks are requested for any individuals who are not seated at a table and eating and drinking.

For racers who prefer an outdoor pick-up option, curbside pick-up will be available during the same time. There will also be an option to pick up your race packet at the Kahtoola office located at 431 S. River Run Rd. on the morning of the race, Saturday February 12, from 10am to 12pm.

Post-Race Festivities

For racers, supporters, volunteers, and spectators, there will be post-race food and festivities at the Arizona Snowbowl Fremont Restaurant & Bar, the start/finish location. Capacity will be reduced inside the restaurant, and we ask that all individuals wear a mask when not eating and drinking. We encourage everyone to dress warm – doors in the restaurant will remain open during the entirety of the event to allow for additional ventilation, and heaters and fire pits will be available on the outdoor patio outside the restaurant. For all participants, there will be the option to be outside at all times, and you will not need to be present to win prizes of any kind.
