    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    Course Description:

    A relay team race with obstacles; Hardship Hill will present participants with more than 24 obstacles over the distance of a 2 mile course. Teams will consist of two to eight team members where only two members of the team will race at any given time. Depending on team strategy, teams can tag in their next two runners each lap or complete multiple laps before tagging in their team members.

    Teams that complete the most laps in their given race will be awarded top honors.

    Teams can be made up of all men, all women, or co-ed.

    This race was conceived to have fun, get active, and most importantly honor our veterans by helping raise money for Operation Enduring Warrior. A 501(c)(3) public charity, Operation Enduring Warrior (OEW) is a veteran-founded, volunteer lead, non-profit whose mission is to honor, empower, and motivate our nation’s wounded veterans through physical, mental, and emotional rehabilitation. OEW’s program helps participants overcome adversity and hardship through innovation, teamwork, and perseverance. This ultimately enables the lives of wounded veterans to go in directions they may have once thought were impossible.

    RACE AID

  • There are 3 aid stations along the course:
    The main aid station, located at Base Camp, will be stocked with water, electrolyte drink, gels, bars, fruit, snacks, and basic first aid supplies. The other two aid stations are staggered on the course and will provide water only.

  • The base camp will be an area for teams to set up tents, chairs, etc. for their teams to relax and refuel while waiting to run. Food and beverages are permitted.

  • Runners are encouraged to bring their own race nutrition as well.
  • SPECTATORS

  • FREE. Spectators are free and they are welcome to watch at any areas on the inside of the course.
