Mt Ashland Hillclimb Run

Join us Saturday August 2nd, 2008 for the 31st Annual Mt. Ashland Hillclimb Run & Walk. This 13.3 mile event begins in downtown Ashland's beautiful Lithia Park (el 1900') and climbs on tree-canopied dirt roads and trails to finish on the Mt. Ashland summit (7533'), for a total of 5,600' of climbing--that's over a vertical mile!

Online Entry is now available. We filled up last year so we encourage you to sign up ASAP.

Entries received up to July 20th will be entered into a random prize drawing. Prizes will be distributed at the race results area, race day (must be present to win).

We're part of the 2008 USATF Oregon Mountain Running Series. Lots of fun races--check 'em out.

Why was the 2007 event "the 28th annual" and this year's is the 31st? Kathy Wolfe and Larry Zowada--participants in the original Mt Ashland Hill Climb Run--sent us a newsclipping from the Ashland Daily Tidings showing us the results from the first run, held in 1978. We did the math...

We also found out that our event has the second most elevation gain of any continuous hill climb in the continental United States. The Pikes Peak Ascent in Colorado is the only event with more--7,800 feet. We have more elevation gain than even the Mt Washington Road Race in New Hampshire (4,727'). The Run to the Sun on the island of Hawaii takes the cake, with 10,000' going from sea level to the summit of Haleakela.

The male and female winners of our race will get their names on a surviving trophy--a mini-keg of beer--generously provided by our sponsor, Standing Stone Brewing Company. The keg will be full of beer, to be responsibly enjoyed by all (of age) and will reside at Standing Stone the rest of the year. Claim your bragging rights!

Competitive runners start at 8:00 AM. Walkers and runners who want more time, but are not competing for age group or overall prizes, may start at 7:00AM.

Therapeutic Associates Physical Therapy will be hosting an aid station to help you get warmed up before the race and to help you cool down (or just celebrate) at the end of the race, or to answer questions or help address any sports medicine related issues participants may have.

Check out some of these great pics from the 2007 event. We enjoyed absolutely perfect weather.
