Death By a Mile
Death By a Mile is a loop-based endurance race held at Skeetawk Ski Area on the Meadow Loop trail and nearby Altitude path. The event is presented as a 2026 season finale and is in its third year.
Runners complete repeated one mile hill loops by leaving the start tent, ascending the Altitude gravel path (0.39 miles), entering the Meadow Loop trail (0.54 miles) in either direction, finishing a full loop, and returning down Altitude to check in at the start tent before beginning the next lap. Individual loops are not timed; the outcome is based on the total number of full loops completed in each time division. Participants must remain on site for their entire race period and must complete a full loop before returning to the start tent for a lap to count.
Aid provisions include water, electrolytes, and a variety of aid station snacks. The Skeetawk Yurt will be available for warmth and will sell coffee and other drinks. Participants are encouraged to bring personal food, chairs, and other supplies for their duration on site. Minors aged 12 to 17 may compete when a parent or guardian is present for the full session. Children under 12 may run Kid Loop(s) only while accompanied by a registered parent or guardian; those loops do not count toward awards.
