SISU 24 PNW is not a standard 24-hour race.
You run or hike trails through Pacific Northwest forest for 24 hours. Every trail counts, but distance and time alone do not win.
Along the way, you unlock side quests. Complete them and you earn bonus points. Some are physical. Some are mental. Some are strategic. Some…are just weird.
You can grind miles.
You can chase bonuses.
You can build a plan and watch it collapse at 3 a.m.
You can choose, that is the point.
How It Works
1. Hit the Trails
Complete as many trails as you can in 24 hours. Each trail earns base points, more if you’re one of the first to complete it.
2. Unlock Side Quests
Special challenges are available throughout the event. Each trail has one. Some are time-based. Some appear without warning.
3. Earn Bonus Points
Complete side quests to multiply your score. Strategy matters as much as endurance.
4. Climb the Leaderboard
Live tracking keeps the game alive. The standings shift all day and all night.
The Course
Six trails.
Varying from 3 to 19 miles roundtrip.
Rolling hills, switchbacks and scrambles.
There is no assigned order. You decide where you go, how far you go, and when you go there.
This is 100% choose your own adventure.
Trail Options
SISU 24 PNW features six distinct trail routes:
- Shorter ~3 mile options for fast laps or late-night resets
- Mid-distance routes with steady climbing and rhythm
- Longer mountain routes that stretch toward ~19 miles roundtrip
You can repeat the same trail all day.
You can rotate through all six.
You can build a plan.
You can throw it out at midnight.
Every approach is valid.
Elevation Gain
Elevation varies by route.
Some trails roll gently and reward steady pacing.
Some climb with purpose and demand patience.
Some stack vertical quickly if that’s your style.
You choose how much climbing you want to take on.
You choose when to take it on.
Terrain
Pacific Northwest singletrack.
Roots. Rocks. Forest floor. Climbs that shift you into a power hike. Descents that reward focus and controlled effort.
These are real trails. They require attention, not perfection.
Your Adventure, Your Rules
You can go all out for 24 hours.
You can hit a big mountain route at sunrise and spend the afternoon cruising shorter loops.
You can show up competitive and chase the leaderboard.
You can show up curious and sample a few trails.
You can hit midnight yoga, grab a few hours of sleep, then head out for one last short lap before the clock runs out.
All of it counts.
There is no single definition of success here.
Your strategy.
Your pace.
Your experience.
By the end, your story won’t look like anyone else’s. And that’s exactly the point.
The Side Quests
This is where SISU separates itself.
Quests are optional.
Ignoring them is a strategy.
Chasing them is also a strategy.
Examples include:
Trial of the Falls
A participant favorite, record a 30 second video while standing in a waterfall.
Trial of Fragility
Carry an egg over miles of rugged trail without breaking it.
Trial of Binding
Get instructions to learn a new knot, can you remember it 6 miles later back at camp?
Some quests reward knowledge.
Some reward creativity.
Some reward bold decisions.
No two leaderboards look the same.
Every year brings about new quests, some return, some don’t.Â
