Welcome to the 2024 Those Damned Hills event, where participants are invited to embrace the challenge of conquering scenic routes at Laurel Hill Park Central Green. Whether you’re tackling the 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon, prepare for an exhilarating journey through picturesque landscapes and rolling hills.
Embracing inclusivity, walkers and strollers are welcomed to join this event, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among participants. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual race option is available, allowing everyone to partake in the experience regardless of location.
Upon completion, all runners will receive a coveted finisher’s coin, a technical (Drifit) event shirt to commemorate their achievement, and the satisfaction of completing a chip-timed event. Moreover, by participating, runners contribute to a worthy cause as this event partners with Operation Turbo, supporting their initiative of providing “Boxes of Home” to those serving overseas.
The course itself presents its own set of challenges, with a single-track dirt path comprising the majority of the route, complemented by sections of pavement at the start and finish. Expect rolling hills throughout the scenic routes, adding an extra layer of difficulty and excitement to the experience. For Half Marathon participants, the route consists of two laps, promising a rewarding yet demanding test of endurance.
