This is part of the Hare Mountain Trail Runs October 29th-30th. We created the White Rock Ascent summer 2026 and had it added to Hare Mountain 100 registration page. Since it's a unique race, we decided to give it a separate sign up.
See the website for details.

Created summer 2026 after a race the RD ran and thoroughly enjoyed. It now has a separate Ultrasignup page due to the uniqueness of the race. It is still Hare weekend.
An ascent challenge up White Rock Mountain, at 2309 feet, from Salt Fork. 1.8 miles, 1300' of technical gain.
Option 1:Timed Ascent only-"Leg Hare"-Runners will start at Salt Fork Aid and walk out short spur to the main OHT. From the start line, runners will run to the top of White Rock to the first TH parking area. A 1 minute delay will be used between each runner ascending. Either a Strava segment or timing mats will be used to determine the winners.
From the top, runners will run or walk back down to Salt Fork Aid to their cars, untimed. 1300' up in 1.8 miles.
