Description
Run the Hawk Trail Runs is back for its third year with the 3, 6, & 12 hour trail challenge and the 3, 6 & 12 hour team relay. Join us at the historic Blackhawk Ski Club for some food, fun, dirt & vert!!
We have a variety of features along the course, including a hill climb w/ a 20%+ grade, majestic 70 foot pines, and a nice flat creek side path with amazing views. We would be amiss if we didn't mention you will run along some of the nicest bike trails in the area and under the iconic 60 meter ski jump. There is also a natural spring pool with a rope swing at the bottom of the switchbacks that you can jump in if you need to cool off.
The Trail Challenge
The goal of the 3, 6 & 12 hour challenge is to complete as many laps around the 2 mile course as possible in the designated time.
Team relay options are also available for the 3, 6 and 12 hour challenges with teams of 2-4 people. Set up basecamp and enjoy the day running and bonding with friends. The only rule is every participant needs to complete at least 1 lap. You pick the order, number of people and rotation.
More detail, including rules and format, on the 3, 6 & 12 hour challenge and Team Relay can be found here
Trail Mix Fun Run
New to trail running or not quite ready for a multi-hour trail run? Then The Trail Mix Fun Run is for you. The 1.5 mile course hits all the highlights of the ski hill but without the big hill climb. This event is all about getting back to the roots of trail running by being with people and playing in the dirt.
