Discover the Ultimate Adventure at SISU 24 PNW
Prepare for an extraordinary experience like no other! SISU ENDURANCE presents the SISU 24 PNW, a one-of-a-kind 24-hour choose-your-own-adventure run that challenges your limits, or if you want to fully embrace your inner SISU, we also offer the option to achieve one the toughest 100-Mile races you've ever encountered. Join us at the picturesque Camp Sheppard, nestled in the breathtaking Cascade Mountains, just minutes from the magnificent Mount Rainier National Park and Crystal Mountain ski area. Towering cliffs, pristine waterfalls, and majestic elk roaming freely in the meadows create a captivating backdrop for this unforgettable adventure.
Set up Your Base Camp and Embrace the Weekend
Arrive on Friday and set up your base camp to maximize this immersive experience. Bring your family, crew, or friends along – all extra support teams are welcome and free of charge! The Boy Scout Camp offers a perfect camping spot for the entire weekend, providing a fun-filled experience for kids and adults alike.
Race Day: Unleash Your SISU
On Saturday morning, the excitement begins! All participants race together, with the 100-Mile runners starting at 6am and the 24-Hour Individual and 24-Hour Team runners joining them at 9am. The race concludes 24 hours after the start for team and individual runners. For the 100-Mile runners, there is a 32-hour cutoff to complete the epic challenge.
A Self-Supported Adventure
This race is all about self-reliance. Set up your own base camp and let your creativity shine by decorating your campsite with festive flair. Multiple out-and-back trails await you, ranging from a 3-mile route to the longest distance of 18.9 miles. Before venturing onto the trails, make sure to check in at the timing table at base camp. Select your desired trail, embark on your chosen adventure, and reach the checkpoint at the end of the trail to stamp your quest log. The top ten finishers will also collect a ping pong ball, while those in the 11-20 position will return a crystal. Regardless of your position, always check in with the staff at HQ upon returning to camp for safety and tracking purposes.
Earn Points, Conquer Challenge
The SISU 24 PNW is all about rewarding your route choices and accomplishments. As you embark on this epic adventure, there are multiple ways to earn points and conquer exciting challenges.
Main Quests:
The main quests in the SISU 24 PNW involve completing each of the six marked trail routes. Your task is to run the route, collect the stamp along the way, and return to HQ. Each main quest has a designated point value that changes based on the number of participants who have completed that route. The earlier you complete a trail, the more points you earn. It's a strategic race against the clock!
Side Quests:
In addition to the main quests, there are optional side quests available on each trail. These side quests offer additional challenges and opportunities to earn extra points. They are designed to test your skills, add excitement to your journey, and provide a chance to explore unique experiences along the way.
Additional Side Quests:
Outside of the trail-specific side quests, we also offer separate side quests that are not attached to any particular trail. These side quests include activities like Midnight Yoga under the Stars and the SISU Service Project. Participating in these separate side quests allows you to earn additional points and engage in memorable experiences during the event.
Each side quest is worth a specific number of points, and completing them requires dedicated time and effort. They add an extra layer of adventure and fun to your SISU 24 PNW experience.
So, as you tackle the main quests, be on the lookout for the optional side quests on each trail. Take part in the additional side quests to unlock new challenges and earn more points. By embracing the full range of quests available, you'll maximize your point accumulation and create a truly unforgettable adventure.
Adventure Within Reach
Despite the varying distances, you're never too far from base camp and your essential gear and supplies. Water sources along the trails offer ample opportunities to replenish and purify your drinking water. Be sure to bring an efficient water purification method, especially on hot days. As day turns into night, immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere with lights, movies, crafts, and onesies.
