2012 Race Date is Saturday, April 7th 2012.

This year's 2012 third annual Five Peaks presented by CAMP is a going off on April 7th. Feedback from 2011 was positive, so we'll keep things on the "technical" side with some steep bootpacks and hopefully more ridge-walks. Ten Mile Range 70 mph winds are just a bonus! Be nice to all of your potential race partners this winter and we'll see you in April. Stay tuned for course details, the only promise is it'll be something new.

2011 race results are attached on the Results page. Photos from Kevin Krill at Crested Butte photograpy are HERE.

In-person registration is at Mountain Outfitters and Amazing Grace in Breckenridge, on-line registration will be at: athlete360.com.

Friday packet pickup/late registration is at Mountain Outfitters from 4-7 pm. Please read News/Updates page for important updates the week prior to the race.

A special thank you to the Town of Breckenridge, Breckenridge Ski Resort and the Breckenridge Ski Patrol for making The Five Peaks possible.

--------------------------------

The Five Peaks includes approximately 8,000 ft. of vertical and multiple ascents in the Ten Mile Range behind and in Breckenridge Ski Resort. Eighty teams of two will skin, climb, ski and traverse Peaks 9, 8 and 7. While The Five Peaks course will be demanding in terms of vertical and time, the course is designed so that teams that are near the 2:30 pm cut-off time will be moved ahead on the course and still make all summits.

The Five Peaks is sponsored by the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC). "BOEC expands the potential of people with disabilities and special needs through meaningful, educational and inspiring outdoor experiences." To learn more about the BOEC and to donate, please visit www.boec.org.
