Broken Arrow Skyrace is an annual three-day, eight distance sky running race series held at Palisades Tahoe in the North Lake Tahoe region of California.
The Broken Arrow Skyrace features eight events spread over three days: the Vertical Kilometer (VK), "Iron Face Challenge" which includes a section of via ferrata climbing, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi), 18 kilometres (11 mi), 23 kilometres (14 mi), 46 kilometres (29 mi), Triple Crown (VK+23k+46k), Iron Crown (Iron Face+23k+46k), and a kids race.
Broken Arrow races are unique in California as most of the terrain is above tree line, with significant parts of the course still snowbound in some high precipitation years. The race begins at the same location and on part of the same course as the Western States Endurance Run. Founded in 2016, the race has grown to host thousands of participants including many international runners and an elite field. In 2024, the VK and 23k were the host race for the Mountain Running World Cup.
