Awards

All who complete at least 4 miles receive a finisher medal. If you sign up for a longer distance, and decide during the event to drop down to a shorter distance, you still receive a finisher medal as long as you completed at least 4 miles. Drop downs do not qualify for Top 3 Podium awards or place rank. As noted on 3/2/2024 results provided by Timer Guys, the "a.k." note in place of a numbered place rank indicates a drop down from a longer distance. This is the equivalent of an Unofficial Finish.

All 100 Miler finishers receive a buckle. 

Top 3 humans in each category receive an Overall Top 3 Podium award. We do not award top 3 female and top 3 male, because our results have shown that both genders are equally capable of outstanding mental and physical performance. The 3/2/2024 Top 3 Podiums were taken by 39% female and 61% male. 

Early starts are allowed if you do not think you will have time to complete your target distance within the cutoff time. Early starts do not qualify for Top 3 Awards or place rank.

Hilltop Doubler hats are awarded to those who complete both Saturday and Sunday events. This does not include an event that begins Saturday and ends Sunday. This is for two separate event registrations. One event Saturday, and one event Sunday. For instance, a half marathon on Saturday and a 4 miler on Sunday. It is also possible to complete a longer distance event that is expected to start on Saturday and carry over into Sunday AND a Sunday event such as a 100 miler and a Sunday 4 miler. This is 100 + 4 miles. The additional 4 miles are not concurrent, but consecutive, for a total of 104 miles. Both must be completed by the Sunday 2pm cutoff. 

Pacers are allowed after 50 miles. You are allowed one pacer on the course with you at a time. You may swap pacers as many times as you like, but only one pacer at a time may remain with you. Pacers are not allowed to “mule” for a participant, meaning they cannot carry the participant’s calories, hydration, or supplies. The loops are so short there isn’t any need for that anyway. 

Pace/Elevation

Course

Course is a mix of asphalt walking trail and dirt trails. Asphalt is in black, dirt is in brown. Very little of the dirt trail is technical. The direction will be clockwise for the duration of all event distances. Elevation is significantly less than the 2024 course. There is only 75’ of elevation per mile. Twisted Nut trail goes right next to a creek bed that the kids tend to enjoy. 

Photography

Photography is provided as part of the trail family reunion experience. They're free for download, social media sharing, and personal printing. Check out our previous photo albums: 2024, 2023, 2022

Child Discount

Our children are our future and our present. We're all about providing positive experiences at an early age that lead to lifelong healthy habits. We love seeing families making memories too. Each parent entry comes with one free child (age 15 or under) entry. Please direct message us if you are interested.

Huge thanks to the Outlaw Trail Series for leading the way on this. When we saw that they do this, we knew it was the right thing to do. Check out their events at https://outlaw100.com for more family experiences. 

Deferrals

Registration may be deferred by 2/26/2025, the Wednesday leading up to the event. 

Volunteers

Hilltop does not happen without volunteers. Volunteers applied for grant money to build the trails. Volunteers helped with training runs leading up to this event. We need volunteers. We have everything from helping with setup, packet pickup, course marshaling, aid station, and pack out. Join our team of magic makers. Sign up today as a volunteer for Lake Vian Hilltop Run by clicking on the Volunteer tab above. 

Various

Animals must remain on a leash at all times during event, event setup, event teardown, and while camping before or after the event.

Participants dropping from an event must notify the Race Director, timing company, or one of its representatives prior to leaving the race site.
