The Cascadian Wilderness Endurance Series is a thrilling and multi-faceted annual adventure blogging contest that caters to Trailrunners, Fastpackers, and Backpackers.  The series combines the routes of the UltraPedestrian Wilderness Challenge and the Wild Idaho Endurance Challenge and continues to develop new routes each year.


Unlike typical races, this challenge doesn't offer any aid stations, course markings, start/finish lines, or cut-offs.


To participate, simply sign up via Ultrasignup, find the route that suits you best, and complete the challenge unsupported to earn a prestigious finisher patch.

Donate

The Challenge

Profits from the CWES will be donated toward trail maintenance and wilderness preservation groups like the WTA.  


It's basically a fundraiser, but you get to do an Ultra for Funsies, challenge yourself, and see some amazing scenery too. Everybody wins.


Or just donate now below.
