It was a gorgeous morning for the first annual Uphill Challenge at Mt. Hood Meadows. A field of 39 ranging in age from 4 to 71 took on the challenge. Most ran but some walked the 1.2 mile course which gained 621 vertical from the parking lot to the top of the Stadium Express. (See the Finish Line Movie at the bottom of this page).
The course record was set by Bernard Seeger - 10 minutes and 49 seconds. Rachel Lynn had the fastest woman's time (and third overall) at 13 minutes and 16 seconds. They both received a cash prize of $250, and everyone in this first annual event received a handmade wooden award commemorating the inaugural event.
