CANCELLED FOR 2020
The Paul Bunyan Extreme Race is a friends and family event designed to promote a healthy lifestyle. Our course is made to challenge people of all ages and abilities. The race will be filled with 22 obstacles from  mother nature to man made and fitness to fear! You can register as an individual or a team. All proceeds will go to Mount Ski Gull.

Frequently Asked Questions:
  • What should I bring?
    • Some items that may come in handy would be gloves, towel, jug of water for personal wash down, change of clothes, form of payment, and a parent or guardian to sign a release form if you are under the age of 18 on race day. You will need to show a photo ID in order to receive you race packet. You will also need an ID if you plan on having a beer or two to celebrate your accomplishment!
  • Will there be race day registration?
    • ​Yes! You will not be guaranteed to get a FREE t-shirt if you register on Race Day. You must pre-register in order to get a FREE  t-shirt. T-shirts will not be for sale the day of the race.  So please register early, bring your ID, a parent or guardian if you are under 18, and it’s cash only on race day. Anyone under 18 will not be allowed without a signed release form from your parent or guardian. You must be 10 years old by race day with signed release form to race. Racers 10-17 can run with a parent in the parent/child division with a signed release form. If you choose to register on race day, we will try to let you race with your friends but you may have to wait for the next available heat.
  • When will I race?
    • You can choose from 15 different heats, running every half hour from 8am-3pm. Heats will be capped at 100, so once they fill up, you will have to choose another heat. Those who do not pre-register and show up on race day may have to wait for the next available heat. So please register early. PRE-REGISTER to avoid any issues! It’s the only way to be guaranteed to get a FREE t-shirt and discounts. T-shirts will not be sold on race day!​
  • Can I skip an obstacle?
