Every June, athletes from across the country gather in Ashland, Oregon, for one of the most exhilarating (and gnarly) endurance challenges in the region—the Mt. Ashland Hill Climb. This iconic race in the Pacific Northwest offers participants a unique opportunity to ascend from the heart of downtown Ashland to the summit of Mt. Ashland. The race requires some serious grit to finish and is a celebration of the local trails and community.

In March 2025, the thrill of high school alpine skiing returns to Mt. Ashland, as it hosts the annual Oregon High School Alpine State Championships. This exciting event brings together Oregon's top young alpine skiers for an adrenaline-packed weekend.
