Hills Creek Endurance Challenge
The Hills Creek Endurance Challenge is a timed trail event held at Hills Creek Lake near Wellsboro, PA. It is staged on a roughly 3 mile loop that is mostly single track trail. The start/finish and the aid station are located at the Sugarbush Pavilion. The loop has just over 200 ft of elevation gain. Competitors complete as many loops as they can within their allotted time.
Event formats include:
- 12 hour individual
- 12 hour 4 person relay
- 6 hour individual
- 3 hour individual
Registration details note a shirt guarantee for entries received by Sunday April 12. General registration closes on April 25. The event is rain or shine; there are no refunds, deferrals, or bib transfers.
Camping is available within the park for campers, tents, or cabins; nearby lodging options include the towns of Wellsboro and Mansfield. If the Hills Creek campground is full, the next closest campground is Ives Run, about 9 miles away.
Organizers are still working on determining which organization will receive the 2007 proceeds. Past donations have gone to The Glioblastoma Foundation, Mission 22, Boxes of Hope, Eat Share, and the Lycoming County Youth Livestock Committee.
A youth discount offers 50% off the regular registration fee for runners 14 and under on race day; the discount does not apply to relay entries and a specific registration code is provided for that discount. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
