📖 Read the Mountain Athletes' Guide

Each team member in the Trail Buddy or Trail Family Event has no minimum or maximum laps, mileage, elevation, or time on the course. Teams manage who is on the Mountain for how long and when, according to conditions, fitness levels, and the needs of the team.

Do I need to be a runner? No. IronHike is a hiking Event. If you can walk up a mountain repeatedly, you can do this. Running is never required.

What if I can't finish? The Mountain keeps no score. Every lap is earned. Every Mountain Athlete sets their own ceiling — the Event ends when you decide it ends, or when the Final Bell rings.

Policy: No refunds, deferrals, or transfers between Series. Upon request, you may receive an 80% credit toward any future Event (no expiration). All sales final.

If you are unable to attend, we can provide a single-use coupon for 80% off any future registration with no expiration date. Transfers within the same Series are allowed on a case-by-case basis.
