Absolutely Love It! Thank you MVJ and Elizabeth Roersma for publishing an article on our race. Give them a follow for all things Midwest adventuring!

What does it take to climb 29,000 feet without ever leaving West Michigan? At Cannonsburg Ski Area, runners test their limits in the Midwest Everest—an ultra like no other. From 100 grueling miles to a sunset 10K, the grit, camaraderie, and community that keep people coming back year after year.

Author Elizabeth Roersma gives us a firsthand look into the race that turns a Midwest ski hill into Mount Everest: https://midwestvertical.co/midwest-everest/

This year's Midwest Everest event takes place the weekend of September 27th. There's still time to register or plan on coming out and supporting the athletes.
