Important Registration & Shirt Notice
*Participants who register within 48–72 hours of race day may not receive their event shirt on race day due to ordering and inventory deadlines. If your shirt is not available, you will be able to pick it up at the next Thursday Hill session.

Day-of-race registrations are subject to availability and may only include a recovery snack and water. Race shirts, medals, bibs, and other participant items are not guaranteed for same-day registrations and will be provided only if available.

Because it’s more than a hill. It’s about overcoming obstacles, inspiring one another, and choosing to live longer—together.

We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!
