    Welcome to Hell on the Hill, an extraordinary test of willpower, endurance, and teamwork set against the backdrop of one of the most daunting hills you'll ever face. This is not just a race; it's a journey through the limits of your physical and mental stamina. Here, you'll discover what it truly means to push yourself beyond what you thought possible, all while embracing the spirit of camaraderie and mutual support.

    Event Details:

    Race Format: Participants will conquer the hill in a grueling 50-lap challenge, with a strict time limit of 4 hours to complete the course. This event is designed to test your resilience, determination, and strategy under pressure.

    Participation Options: Hell on the Hill welcomes both individual warriors and teams. For those who prefer the collective strength of a group, teams of 4 can join forces to tackle the hill together. Whether you're flying solo or part of a team, the goal remains the same—surmount the hill 50 times within the allotted time.

    The Hill: Prepare to face a hill that will challenge every muscle in your body. With each lap, you'll not only be battling the incline but also the limits of your own resolve.

    Rules of Engagement:

    Rest, But Don't Quit: In the spirit of the challenge, participants are allowed to rest for up to 5 minutes between laps. This is a race against the hill and yourself, not just the clock. When the going gets tough, remember, you can pause, catch your breath, and gather your strength, but giving up is not an option.

    Ask for Help: Embodying the essence of teamwork and support, individuals feeling the weight of the challenge can ask for assistance. Team members can step in to complete a lap for a teammate, showcasing the event's core message—sometimes in life, as on the hill, it's okay to lean on others for support.

    The Spirit of the Event: Hell on the Hill is more than just a physical challenge; it's a metaphor for life's toughest moments. When faced with adversity, the option to rest and seek help is always available, but quitting is not. This event is designed to remind everyone that, no matter how steep the hill in front of you, perseverance, and support from those around you can lead you to the summit.

    Awards and Recognition: While every participant who takes on the hill is a winner in their own right, special recognition will be given to those who exemplify extraordinary endurance, teamwork, and spirit throughout the race.

    Join us for Hell on the Hill and experience the ultimate test of endurance, perseverance, and camaraderie. Whether you're here to push your own limits, support your teammates, or simply to be part of a community that refuses to back down, this event promises to be an unforgettable journey. Remember, on the hill, as in life, you can rest, but you cannot quit. Rise to the challenge, ask for help when needed, and conquer Hell on the Hill together.

    Presented by Lincoln Track Club, INK ALLEY, FLEET FEET LINCOLN, LINCOLN RUNNING COMPANY, THE CORNER KITCHEN, El Tejano Style

    We are hoping to support the Lincoln Food Bank with food donations. More details later on.

    This is a community centered event with racing for all abilities and ages. Our goal is to bring people together, promote fitness, and be outside. This is a one of a kind run/race where you will do multiple laps of the same course run cross country style on the grass at WOODS PARK. Perfect for friends and family to come cheer you on.

    All on time, registrants will receive gloves (both youth and adult sizes available) and drink koozy.

    Extras will be ordered, but no guarantee of race swag after the date above.

    Wild Things 1 mile

    This is a 12 and under event that will do one lap, and a little bit, of the loop course.

    Start time is 530pm for the Wild Things 1 mile

    Start time is 600pm for the All Comers 5k

    Woods Park 5k

    Like 2025, we are going to go to one 5k race for all paces. Come push yourself on one of the few flat, multi-loop courses in the area. Just enough terrain to make it interesting, but smooth enough you can run fast, even on a cross country course.

    Runners will be getting lapped and we will stress the "stay to the right except to pass" principle.

    It will be a great night to test your fall running fitness.
