But the race director of\u200a the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tram.southlandevents.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palm Springs Aerial Tram Road Challenge<\/a> says nothing compares to his October event, when hundreds of people walk and run 3.7 miles on a course with an 1,840-foot elevation gain to reach the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway\u2019s Valley Station. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cFew races go uphill, from desert to mountain,\u201d race director Matt Sills points out. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s called a \u2018challenge.\u2019\u200a\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Although people compete for best time, running or walking the course, the Tram Road Challenge is a friends-and-family event with participants from young children to seniors. Last year, a man in the 60 to 64 age division bested people in younger age groups; the overall winning time was 30 minutes 7 seconds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The 37th annual Tram Road Challenge takes place Oct. 19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIn terms of participants, it\u2019s a mixed bag, like the desert demographic,\u201d Sills says, noting that local residents include many retirees and snowbirds. The event also attracts people from out of town, out of state, and out of country (last year\u2019s race included an Australian).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There are aid stations at each mile and food and drinks for participants at the finish line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe try to make it as festive and enjoyable as possible,\u201d Sills says. \u201cWe make participants feel they are a part of something instead of \u200ajust a number in a crowd. And we don\u2019t make them walk back down \u2014 we have buses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Self-described \u201ccasual runner\u201d Jesse Huskey of \u200aPalm Springs has participated 11 times. We spoke with Huskey to learn more about the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Do you participate in the event alone or with family or friends? And what\u2019s your personal best?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">I have done it by myself and with my wife, friends, and colleagues. My best time was 38 minutes 22 seconds.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s3\">Why do you do it? <\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">There are a million events out there, from marathons to obstacle courses, but the Tram Road is unique. It\u2019s a rare opportunity to have such a challenge.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">What advice do you have for people who are doing the event for the first time?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Pace yourself and even force yourself to slow down in the first half, because it gets harder as you go. The steeper incline on the back half will kick your butt. <\/span><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Where else do you like to get in your paces locally?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">I take the tram to the Mountain Station and run to the peak. It is an incredible workout, and it\u2019s beautiful. With the cool temperatures and amazing views, I feel like I\u2019m on vacation.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Challenge participant Jesse Huskey discusses his experience with the demanding 3.7-mile race, which returns Oct. 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":751105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[522],"tags":[14743],"advertiser":[],"poi_city":[],"class_list":["post-751104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-palm-springs-aerial-tram-road-challenge"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
