Broken Arrow Skyrace
The Broken Arrow Skyrace, presented by Salomon, is a four-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.” In addition to speakers, book signings, music, food, and educational events, there are nine race events to appeal to every ability level and taste, including the Ascent, a 3.3-mile race from the valley floor to the top of Palisades Tahoe, with 3,500 feet of vertical gain, an 11k, 18k, 23k, 46k, and a kids race.
The Broken Arrow Skyrace is proud to announce the 2025 Broken Arrow Skyrace Inclusivity Initiative, presented in partnership with Arc’teryx Equipment, the global design company specializing in technical high-performance outerwear, footwear and equipment.
The Broken Arrow Skyrace Advisory Council launched the initiative after extensive consultations with 20 BIPOC, LTBGQIA+, and Non-Binary run clubs from across the state of California. “We have always sought to create a welcoming environment for all runners,” said race founder Brendan Madigan. “This partnership is a bold, proactive step to make trail running more accessible to historically underrepresented communities, which is essential if we truly mean “all runners.”
With Arc’teryx’s generous support, nearly 100 athletes will receive complimentary entries, early registration access, products, and/or travel stipends, as well as the opportunity to participate alongside some of the world’s top trail runners at one of North America’s largest and most competitive trail and ultrarunning events.
