Competitors who complete all three Hill Climb events, for a total of 12+ miles and over 7,500 feet of climbing, will be eligible for overall awards and a raffle with special prizes.
Targhee Hill Climb Course Description:The 2.9 mile uphill run starts at the base of the Dreamcatcher chairlift and climbs 1840′ to the top of Fred’s Mountain.  Following the single-track Bannock Trail, (or the Teton Vista Traverse if snow pack is an issue), the course will feature a water station at roughly 1 mile and at the Finish Line.
IMPORTANT: every competitor should plan on carrying a water bottle or hydration system as the trail is exposed, steep, rocky and is entirely at altitude (8,000 – 10,000 ft). Additionally, the weather can be warm (or extremely cold)!Competitors can send extra clothing to the top of the lift with race officials and ride the Dreamcatcher chairlift down after crossing the finish line.REGISTRATION
