Challenge yourself!!
|
This run is not your typical 5k, it starts out in the beautiful flats around the Hidden Valley Ski Resort, winding around through the country and around the lake just before you start your assent. This will give you just enough time to warm up your legs before you conquer the 400 ft climb through the trails around hidden valley. You will be faced with several 13% grades but will have plenty of downhills to recover on. This trail run will challenge your fitness like never before and you will leave with bragging rights and a sound sleep that night. If this still isn't enough then do the trail run and the hill run on the same day!!

Unfortunately investments are made when a participant registers, so no refund can be issued after registration. You can transfer your bib to another participant (see above) though to recoup your registration of needed.
what if there is bad weather?
Short of lightning, thunder, or tornados - bad weather means the race is that much more fun!!!!
can kids race?
Children can race with parental permission and supervision. Be advised, this is a challenging climb for young children.
do i need to be "fast" to run this race?
First, it is important to remember that "fast" is a relative term!! That said, no one will be fast on this hill. Also, this is about the challenge of conquering something. Fast is not a requirement, determination though... you'll need lots of that :)
what if i need to walk?
You need to stay on your feet and if you need to stop please move to the side, but there are no other movement limitations.
what type of shoes can i wear
All shoe types are allowable EXCEPT track/cross country spikes. Any participant with this type of shoes will not be allowed to run unless they change shoes.
