Mountain Trails & School Spirit: Warrior Way 5k Brings Zephyr Cove High Schoolers Together

It seemed like a crazy dream: could we run a 43 mile hiking route in one day? Neither of us had ever tried such an ambitious adventure.    Here, my friend spots the mountain for the first time.    We made it around!

Get ready to crush some trails and support local student hustle at the upcoming Warrior Way 5k in Zephyr Cove. This isn’t your average weekend run, it’s a mountain adventure that’ll test your grit and celebrate George Whittell High School’s Class of 2027.

Imagine navigating a cross-country course that winds through creeks, logs, and terrain packed with natural obstacles. Runners will dodge trees, rocks, and maybe even surprise squirrel spectators while competing for some seriously unique awards. We’re talking handmade prizes for the fastest athletes and bonus recognition for the ‘muddiest runner’ and the most spirited cheer section.

More Than Just a Race

This event isn’t just about crossing the finish line, it’s a community celebration. With registration prices that won’t break the bank ($12.69 for students, $23.39 for adults), the Warrior Way 5k is accessible to everyone from casual hikers to serious trail runners.
