They Who Standeth Last
Hark! Do you have what it takes to conquer the hill?
Lord of the Hill is a Last Person Standing format with shrinking lap times until only one remains! Don't let the short distance fool you, this 0.8 mile loop has 233ft gain all in one brutally steep climb. The first lap will give you 18 minutes to complete, then shrink by 60 seconds until the 15 minute lap, after that the laps will decrease by 30 seconds.
Every participant will get their own custom, canvas banner as their coat-of-arms! These banners will be used to visually track those who are still in the running for the crown!
The Victor's Prize
During a brief coronation ceremony, the winner will receive their own custom 3D printed crown to proudly wear as an emblem of their victory!
The last racer to have completed a full lap within the set lap time will be crowned Lord of the Hill! If none complete the final lap in time, the previous lap's fastest time will determine the winner.
Arms & Attire
October in Western Washington can be cold, rainy and blustery - be prepared for any weather! Bring your running gear and snacks - water stations will be at the start line and the top of the hill.
This is a medieval-themed event, costumes are encouraged!
Ye Gathering Place
Park in Lord Hill Regional Park's South Lot where there is ample parking in the gravel lot.
Lord Hill Regional Park is a gem in Snohomish county with miles of trails! With that said, we will be sharing the trails with other hikers, bikers and potentially horses, be polite to all trail users!
Thee Course
The course is a 0.8 mile loop that begins alongside the old quarry, starting with an almost flat stretch to the hill itself. Then brace yourself for a glute-burning climb up to the top and immediately turn right. Make up time on the downhill switchbacks through the trees, popping back out by the quarry and finishing the short loop with one, small - and inconsequential really compared to THE hill - rise.
The Merchant's Stall
