Event overview
Climb 89 is a hill repeat event held in early December 2025 in Richland, WA. The event challenges participants to perform repeated ascents of the same climb to accumulate elevation gain. The event offers multiple finisher categories based on total laps completed. Entry is limited to 100 participants. The entry fee covers the event, food and snacks, and a finisher award. A cash prize is offered for a course record.
Course and logistics
The course is an out-and-back segment on the west side of Badger Mountain from the Badger Mountain Westgate Trailhead (46.242357, -119.342787). One ascent is 0.35 mile one-way with about 89 meters (292 feet) of elevation gain and an average grade of 16 percent. Terrain is a mix of dirt and rocks and can be uneven in places. There is a single aid station at the start/finish offering water, electrolytes, and snacks. Participants receive a numbered bib with a timing chip that must be worn for the event. Progress is tracked by a timing system and laps count only when participants cross turnaround lines. Participants who complete 100 laps and upload their full activity to Strava may be eligible for Everesting Hall of Fame recognition.
