Run the Hawk Trail Runs

Join us at the historic Blackhawk Ski Club and test your endurance on this scenic ski hill. The goal of the 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 basecamp 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.
