About Cirque Series
The Cirque Series is the premier short-distance mountain running series in the United States, renowned for its unique blend of elite-level competition and inclusive community vibes. Launched to make mountain running more accessible and festive, Cirque races start at the base of world-famous ski resorts and climb to alpine ridgelines, glacial cirques, and summit views, before plunging runners back to the base for a party atmosphere filled with music, food, beer, and brand experiences.
Whether you're chasing a podium or chasing your breath at 12,000 feet, Cirque Series invites you to climb hard, descend fast, and soak up the celebration at the base. This is not just racing—this is mountain culture at its peak.
