About the Climb the Mesa to Conquer Cancer 10K
The course starts at the Hopi Cancer Support Services building in Kykotsmovi and climbs onto the mesa, gaining serious elevation along the way. The incline is steep enough that walking sections is a reasonable choice, and the views from the top reflect the effort it took to get there. The whole thing is a fundraiser for Hopi cancer patients, so the reason for being there is present throughout.
After the finish, Hopi dance groups perform and local vendors set up nearby. A shuttle runs from the finish back to the start, so you do not have to worry about retracing your steps. Carpooling is encouraged, and parking is at the start location. No pets, bikes, or strollers are allowed on the course.
