What is Absolute Mountain?

Absolute Mountain is a high-impact fitness race series set in stunning mountain, beach, and desert environments, giving athletes the chance to push their limits in world-class locations.

Each event features a unique course with eight total workout stations-one pre-race and seven along the route-challenging strength, endurance, and will.

Participants can complete an optional fitness qualification assessment to determine start waves and qualify for the elite Absolute Division. Participants also have the option to support nonprofits directly through their athlete profile, creating an impact while they race.

More than just a fitness race

We’ve run those unforgettable races - the obstacle courses, 5Ks, half marathons, even the grueling ultras - and we’ve felt that same spark that keeps us coming back. The challenge, the community, the personal milestones… it’s what makes racing special.

But something was missing…

While we loved pushing our limits, we wanted our effort to mean more-to race not just for ourselves, but for something bigger. That’s why we created Absolute Mountain.

Our objective is simple: to give athletes the chance to train and compete not only for personal growth, but to make a real impact. Every race fuels support for our affiliated nonprofits, helping strengthen the world around us while celebrating the mountains we climb.
