About the Event
NEW for 2025! We are adding a 12-Hour Relay option!
It's simple... assemble your team of up to 4 individuals - smaller teams are welcome to compete! We are not managing your day other than you need to keep the bib moving! If someone wants to run 4 laps or 1 and then take a break, pass on the bib. You manage your team and day, we just want to see that bib making laps! Can a team crank out 100 miles in 12 hours??? We would love to see it happen! We will be awarding a special prize to the members of the first place team.
The Hills Creek Endurance challenge will feature a 3 mile loop around Hills Creek Lake featuring mostly single track trail. The start/finish and aid station will be at the Sugarbush Pavilion. The loop has just over 200 ft. of elevation gain. Those competing can register for the 3-hour, 6-hour or 12-hour option and complete as many loops as they want/can within the allotted time.
Proceeds
We are still working on determining which organization will receive the 2025 proceeds. It is always a difficult decision!
Past donations have been made to: The Glioblastoma Foundation, Mission 22, and Boxes of Hope.
