The goal of the Run the Hawk Trail Runs 3, 6 and 12 hour challenge is to complete as many laps as you can around the 2.25 mile course in the designated time. We have a variety of features along the course including majestic 50 foot pines, a natural spring pool with rope swing (yes, it gets used) the chance to run under the iconic 60 meter ski jump, and of course the epic climb up Leaonards Way. This course packs a punch with 367ft of elevation gain per lap… welcome to the DRIFTLESS!!!
Want to amp up the fun? Join the Team Relay (2-4 people), set up base camp and enjoy the day running and bonding with friends. You decide the rotation, frequency and number of people. The only rule is every team member must run at least one lap.
New to trail running or not quite ready for a multi-hour trail run? Then the Fun Run is for you. The 1.7 mile course hits all the highlights of the long course but with only one of the hill climbs. This event is all about getting back to the roots of trail running, being with people and enjoying playing in the dirt.
The course is a 2.25 mile looped course with 367 ft of total ascent per loop. There is a nice 50/50 mix of grass paths and single tracks. There is one major climb with a 20% grade over 1/10 mile followed by downhill switchbacks and gradual climb up switchbacks. You will run through 70ft pines, on boardwalks, under the iconic 60 meter jump and have tremendous views of the Driftless Area and Black Earth Creek Watershed all day long. A special bonus is a natural spring pool accompanied by a rope swing at the bottom of the switchbacks to cool you off in the August heat.
