You have 36 hours to climb 29029 feet
– the equivalent height of Mt. Everest.

Hike up the mountain, take the gondola down, and repeat.

29029 is for those who want to live fully. Those who believe that challenging things change us and life’s obstacles reveal what you’re really made of. We exist to challenge you so intensely that you evolve into a better version of yourself.

We rent a private mountain and build an all-inclusive participant village with bands, bonfires, food/drink, recovery lounge, and everything else you’ll need. You join a community of like-minded individuals while tackling an epic endurance challenge.

This is a new category of event — equal parts physical, mental, and spiritual. It’s not a race. There are no age group awards or records to break. This is just you versus you. Each step is one step closer to the best version of yourself. Join us!

About
Fall foliage will be in full bloom as Stratton Mountain plays host to the original 29029 challenge. Join us where it all began! Fall in New England brings extreme beauty and the shortest/steepest hike on the 29029 schedule. Note that all participants will be staying in Stratton village hotels this year

Trail Description
This is the shortest of the 29029 routes but also the steepest. Beginning on Lower Standard ski run, the trail continues in a direct line underneath the gondola along Upper Standard to the summit. On a clear day, you can see the top of the mountain from the base. Consisting of grass, dirt and gravel, this terrain could be muddy with the variable weather conditions in Vermont during the Fall making waterproof shoes a must.
