ASCENT COURSE RECORD BONUS! A course record bonus of $500 will be awarded to the first place overall male finisher and first place overall female finisher if they finish under the existing course record for their gender.

FINISHER AWARDS: In addition to age group and overall winner awards, All finishers will receive a custom Mt. Evans Ascent finisher's medal. In addition, all men who finish in under 2 hours 40 minutes, and all women who finish under 3 hours will receive a trophy rock marked with the year of the race. This was a tradition from the 70's and 80's that we brought back in 2012. Please see our Race History Page for a photo of trophy rocks from the early days of the Mt. Evans Ascent.

***NOTE: Round-Trip runners will qualify for a trophy rock if their Ascent split meets the criteria for their gender.
