Katey Houser Wins Logo Contest

Katey Houser is the winner of this year’s logo contest for her hand-drawn design of a downhill racer facing Resurrection Bay.
Houser, 21, is from Palmer and currently attends Montana State University, where she is a member of the cross country ski team.
Houser’s winning entry — which earned her $250 — is the first predominantly red, white and blue design since 2012. It will be printed on the 2025 racer and volunteer t-shirts and on other merchandise and promotional efforts.
Houser has six Mount Marathon finishes — three as a junior and three as a adult — and placed 10th overall in the women’s race in 2024. She’s entered again this year.
Isla Crouse of Kenai placed runner-up.
The Mount Marathon Race Committee, which selected the winner, thanks all 20 artists who took part in the annual contest this year.
