Hell on Hogsback: Endurance Challenge

Saturday, August 24th, 2024, from 7:00a - 7:00p

Hell on Hogsback: Endurance Challenge in Cleveland, Ohio is a physical and mental test geared towards those looking to give back in a BIG way on one of the most infamous hills the area has to offer. The race is located in the Rocky River Reservation at the top of Stinchcomb Memorial Hill. The objective is simple: how many times can you complete the out & back hill course within the allotted time? 

Course

Hell on Hogsback is a 0.75 mile out & back (or what some might say...down & up) course with 122ft elevation gain & 122ft elevation descent at an average 12% grade per lap. Starting at the top of Stinchcomb Memorial Hill, runners will head down to the bottom of the hill, take a sharp right, and continue their way down to the bottom of Hogsback Lane. At the bottom of Hogsback, runners will loop around a cone and reverse their footsteps back up Hogsback & to the top of Stinchcomb. Runners will complete their lap by completing a loop through the parking lot where aid stations, tents, and vendors will be. 

Our Mission

Our internal ethos is #EndureForCancer.  

Through this ethos, it is our mission to positively change the course of one cancer patient's life who is unable to fund their surgical or medical procedure(s). After the race, the race committee will select a candidate & hand-deliver a check consisting of 100% of the race proceeds to the person in need.
