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.

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.

A banner year for Streak to The Peak, with the highest number of starters and finishers on record. The clubhouse lawn was a sea of color, filled with tents and racers enjoying the weekend. After a brisk streak to The Peak racers and spectators alike enjoyed a warm and sunny afternoon by the pool, and for the first time post-race Yoga on the clubhouse lawn.

Another fantastic year on the mountain. The weather held out and the forecast for cold, wind, and rain diminished and we had a beautiful weekend. For the second year in a row the men’s masters course record was broken, and we also had our youngest winner of the race at 21. Yoga continues to be a big hit, as was the impromptu dance party at the pool Saturday night.
