Why We Run

The Hillacious Half was created to honor our military — to thank them and ensure their sacrifices are never taken for granted. The course is intentionally tough, representing the effort and endurance our service members face every day, often far from their families. This is a bare bones race with no prize money and no frills — just grit, sweat, and the satisfaction of finishing one of the toughest courses around.

All proceeds after race expenses go into a fund to support local military personnel and families who need a helping hand. Funds are distributed directly through the Hillacious Half, never to large agencies. Both the first-place male and female finishers have their names engraved on perpetual trophies housed at the Morgan-Weir American Legion Post 27 in Litchfield.

We run this race in honor of those who serve and have served — carrying their strength with us up every hill.

Dog Tags

For an additional cost, participants and supporters can honor a veteran or service member with a personalized dog tag:

• Runners: Add a tag during registration for $10.

• Supporters (non-runners): Order a tag for $20.

• Each tag is engraved with your veteran’s name and any additional info that fits.

• Order by Oct 28 to have your tag ready for race day.

• By wearing a dog tag, you bring that person “with you” on the course. It may be the motivation you need to conquer the next hill — and you keep it as a lasting honorarium.

Race Options

Half Marathon (Solo)

13.1 miles of no-nonsense toughness. No medals, no prize money — just sweat and pride.

2-Person Relay

Two legs (~6–7 miles each). Separate timing and awards.

4-Mile Walk (Timed)

Same course start, then loops back for ~4 miles. Starts after all runners (~10:05 A.M.). Includes all runner amenities — yes, a beer at the finish.

Proceeds & Impact

100% of proceeds after expenses are held in a local fund for military members and families needing a helping hand.

Funds are distributed directly by Hillacious Half, not via agencies.

Beyond financial aid, your food and coat donations support local pantries and shelters.
