Hahns Peak Vertical Trail Race

Welcome to another year of epic fun, memories and vertical, with the Hahns Peak Hill Climb. This is an 8 mile out and back trail run that starts at the Quarry Lot (FS550 + HWY 129) north of Hahns Peak Village, CO. The EPIC course runs 4 miles up to the top of Hahns Peak and the fire lookout tower built in 1912. The final push to the summit is dominated by a talus slope. Racers will turnaround at the tower, following the trail 4 miles back down to the finish line. This trail race is an event that started in 2017 at the base of Hahns Peak in North Routt County. Running this course started with a few hardcore North Routt locals meeting at the beautiful Cabins at Historic Columbine every 4th of July. From there, they would race to the summit and fire outlook of Hahns Peak, once an active volcano with an elevation of 10,839 & 360 degree panoramic views like no other. Now it’s time to share this amazing course with all of you! Proceeds from this race are donated to the Steamboat Springs High School Track & Field and Cross Country programs. Two start times/waves. The main event and race will kick off at 8:30am. For those that may need a bit more time to reach the summit and return the the start/finish line for festivities, we are providing an earlier wave start of 7:30am. PLEASE NOTE: The participant must request this earlier start wave in advance by contacting Missy Amato at mkamato010@gmail.com or 815-979-3836 . The main event starts at 8:30am. If athletes start at 7:30am, the volunteers will not all be in place along the course yet. So racers will need to carry their own food/water and follow course markings and signage.

Turnaround Time/Cutoff on Course - In order to ensure the safety of our racers and volunteers on the course, we will have a time cutoff of 10:00am at the intersection, where the single track starts and before the final p
