History
Race History
How We Got Started
Our First Race
The first Steak to the Peak was held on September 9, 2018, with a limited number of entries available. 38 men and women undertook the challenging course including 20 club members and 18 visitors. The event was such a success that the number of entries was doubled for the following year.
2019 Race
The 2019 race was interesting. We made changes to the racecourse and more than doubled the number of runners. However, on race day an unusual September storm rolled in drenching the mountain in rain. Nevertheless, our intrepid runners braved the inclement weather, were serenaded to live mid-race fiddle music and raced to the top of the mountain. There was even a marriage proposal at the conclusion of the race.
2022 Race
The 2022 saw a large gathering beginning Saturday afternoon and evening. The race was very competitive. Perhaps the most interesting fact was the large number of family and friends that were present to support their favorite racer. Lots of fun hearing all the cheers as the runners passed by.
2020 Race
Unfortunately, like many other activities in 2020, the Streak to the Peak was canceled due to COVID 19 concerns.
2021 Race
2021 saw the return of the Streak to the Peak. The race was run under near perfect conditions. Most of the runners joined us for the Saturday night pre-race dinner and many of those spent the night camping on the beautiful Bare Mountain grounds.
