Run the Hawk Trail Run
WHEN:
August 22, 2026 @ 8:00 am
ADMISSION: $10 – $85
WHERE:
Join the historic Blackhawk Ski Club and test your endurance on this scenic ski hill on Saturday, Aug. 22.
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 345ft of elevation gain per lap….Welcome to the DRIFTLESS!!
Not quite ready for a multi-hour trail run? Then the Fun Run is for you. The 1.7-mile event is all about getting back to the roots of trail running, being with people and enjoying playing in the dirt.
Courses:
3/6/12 Hour Course
The course is a 2.25 mile looped course with ~367 ft of total ascent per loop. There is a nice mix of grass paths, dirt single track and access paths. There is one major climb of ~150 feet with a 22% grade and several section with a more gentle climb. There are still plenty of flat spots to let it loose.
Fun Run Course
The 1.7 mile course is a nice mix of grass paths and single tracks with a total elevation of 240feet.There is one climb up the hill at the start but its all flat or down hill from there. You will experience the same great features as the long course without the second hill climb.
