IronHike Endurance Series

Cornwall, United States • 1-4 Oct 2026

IronHike Endurance Series - Fall Everest

The IronHike Fall Everest is an endurance event held at the Mohawk Mountain Ski Area in Cornwall, Connecticut. This multi-day event focuses on a single primary objective for participants: completing a specific course repeated enough times to achieve significant elevation gain. Participants can choose to run, hike, or walk the course.

The event features a single established distance and elevation goal:

  • Everest Ultra: 61+ miles with 29,155 feet of vertical elevation gain.

The challenge is structured as a 72-hour event, providing participants with a three-day window to complete the distance and vertical gain. The course takes place on the terrain of a ski area, involving repeated ascents and descents to reach the total elevation target. This specific vertical measurement of 29,155 feet is designed to match the height of Mount Everest.

The event is organized by IronHike Endurance Productions LLC, which is a US military veteran-owned business. Participation is open to those who wish to test their endurance through a combination of ultra-distance mileage and extreme vertical gain over an extended timeframe.
