Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort Hosts Run, Bike Events

Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort in Washington State will host the Mission: GranDuro & RunDuro.

These competitions start and finish at Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort June 25. The GranDuro cyclists can choose between a 12, 24 or 40 mile mountain bike competition, while the RunDuro features a 6 or 12 mile trail run.

This year we have decided to eliminate the two day format in favor of a bigger better single day event! The other big change is offering THREE different mountain bike distances (beginner, sport, expert) and two run distances. The courses use most of the same trails as 2015 although we plan to ride RED HILL the opposite direction and eliminate DEVIL’S SPUR in favor of returning on the PIPELINE/LOWER CLARA LAKES.
