The Broken Arrow Skyrace, “Where the Mountains Meet the Sky”
The Broken Arrow Skyrace, presented by Salomon, is a three-day, nine distance event held at world-famous Palisades Tahoe. On June 19-22, 2025 elite and recreational participants will experience an unforgettable trail running experience “where the mountains meet the sky.” The Broken Arrow consists of eight iconic distances (plus a kid’s race) that showcase the beauty of Lake Tahoe, the Jewel of the Sierra Nevada.
Designed in the vein of classic European Skyraces, the Broken Arrow Skyrace represents a unique style of mountain running, characterized by off-trail scrambling on steep terrain with massive amounts of vertical gain and loss at altitude….with exposure, hand lines, a ladder and snow slopes thrown in for good measure!
The Broken Arrow Skyrace features nine distances: a 46k, 23k, 18k, Vertical K, 11k, Triple Crown (the Ascent/23k/46k), the Iron Crown (IFC/23k/46k), the Iron Face Challenge, and a kids race. These races are unique in California as most of the terrain is above tree line. Runners will be treated to spectacular views of Lake Tahoe’s emerald-blue waters and Palisade Tahoe’s unmistakable high-alpine terrain. Elite and recreational participants will run and then celebrate together with first-class food, craft beer, music, seminars, films and fun activities for the whole family.
PLEASE NOTE THAT REGISTRATION OPENS AT 9AM PST ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 9th AND CLOSES AT 11:59PM ON JUNE 10th.
2025 specifics are currently being worked on but for now, enjoy what you can most likely expect!
KID’S RACE SPECIFICS:
We’re excited to welcome future Skyrunners to a fun and festive kid’s event at Palisades Tahoe on Sunday, June 22nd at 9:45am. The course will be easy and fun, and children of all ages are welcome to participate, although we ask that little ones under six years old have a parent accompanying them. The race will begin and end at the finish line, ascend a short hill, and circle back down on easy service roads in less than than one kilometer.
