About the Yeti Endurance Weekend

The races all take place at Longview Lake, so the surroundings are open water and park trails rather than streets. The weekend is structured so you can run one day or both, with shorter distances on the first day and longer ones on the second. It draws a range of runners depending on which event they pick.

Packet pickup runs across a couple of evenings before race weekend, with locations posted closer to the event. If you miss those windows, packets are also available at the venue in the hour before your race starts.

Common Questions About the Yeti Endurance Weekend

Will I finish last at the Yeti Endurance Weekend?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:14, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:24, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Yeti Endurance Weekend a good first 5K?

A field of 478 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Yeti Endurance Weekend?

The 5K winner ran 18:45 while the median finisher took 35:14. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
