Legend of the Hills
Description
Welcome to Legend of the Hills 2025, brought to you by Long Island Endurance Collective and SRC! The concept is simple, log as much vertical gain as possible for the entire month of September. Awards for the most vertical in the month and single activity plus raffle prizes along the way from our vendors.
You do not need to supply your Strava account, though we may ask winners to verify their activities. You will enter your activity to RunSignUp, and results will be tabulated from there.
Register for $10 and get to climbing. Swag items will be available for purchase in the store during registration.
Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference.
Legend of the Hills
Rules:
- Participants will log their activities using a GPS watch or app that calculates elevation gain and then report their results to RunSignUp.
- You can upload as many activities as you do and supply your elevation from your device.
- All activities must be done outdoors. The treadmill, stairmaster, and other gym equipment is great, but they don’t count for this challenge.
- Winners will be asked to verify their activities.
