There are a variety of registration categories:

Race Class: The original competitive and timed option for those looking to challenge themselves to push for their best pace. This category will be presented with awards (and bragging rights!).

For those who are in less of a hurry, you can register in the Hike Class which is a timed, non-competitive category emphasizing fun and adventure.

Families are also encouraged to join in the fun by registering for the Family Team category. To compete in this category, you must have a minimum of three (3) family members all signed up for the Race Class category. The award for the fastest family will be presented to those with the lowest cumulative times for the quickest three family members.

Youth participants (8-ish and younger) are encouraged to scramble up a 200yd climb as part of the FREE Kinderclimb! No advance registration is needed for this event which typically takes future Baldy Hill Climb runners 8-12 minutes to complete. “Race” begins at 8:30 a.m.!

All Participants must sign the online Sun Valley Waiver
