Welcome to another year of epic fun, memories and vertical, with the Hahns Peak Hill Climb. This is an 8 mile out and back trail run that starts at the Quarry Lot (FS550 + HWY 129) north of Hahns
Peak Village, CO. The EPIC course runs 4 miles up to the top of Hahns Peak and the fire lookout tower built in 1912. The final push to the summit is dominated by a talus slope. Racers will turnaround at the tower, following the trail 4 miles back down to the finish line.
This trail race is an event that started in 2017 at the base of Hahns Peak in North Routt County. Running this course started with a few hardcore North Routt locals meeting at the beautiful Cabins at Historic Columbine every 4th of July. From there, they would race to the summit and fire outlook of Hahns Peak, once an active volcano with an elevation of 10,839 & 360 degree panoramic views like no other. Now it’s time to share this amazing course with all of you!
Proceeds from this race are donated to the Steamboat Springs High School Track & Field and Cross Country programs.
Two start times/waves. The main event and race will kick off at 8:30am. For those that may need a bit more time to reach the summit and return the the start/finish line for festivities, we are providing an earlier wave start of 7:30am. PLEASE NOTE: The participant must request this earlier start wave in advance by contacting Missy Amato at [email protected] or 815-979-3836. The main event starts at 8:30am. If athletes start at 7:30am, the volunteers will not all be in place along the course yet. So racers will need to carry their own food/water and follow course markings and signage. Racers that start at 7:30am will not be eligible for category prizes, but will still be entered in the raffle drawing.
Turnaround Time/Cutoff on Course - In order to ensure the safety of our racers and volunteers on the course, we will have a time cutoff of 10:00am at the intersection, where the single track starts and before the final push to the summit. This should give plenty of time for all racers to reach that point. After 10:00am, the athlete may choose to continue to the summit unsupported (unofficial) and with the knowledge that the summit volunteers will be clearing the course soon thereafter or racers can turnaround there and make their way back to the finish line for the raffle drawing and festivities. The course and trail is open to the public, so certainly continuing on is an option for racers to continue unsupported. However, if a participant requires assistance down from the mountain, the intersection at the single track is the last point where a 4-wheeler can give them a ride down.

Course Description:
The Hahns Peak Hill Climb is an 8 mile out and back trail run that starts at the Quarry Lot (FS550 + HWY 129) north of Hahns Peak Village, CO. The course runs 4 miles up to the top of Hahns Peak and the fire lookout tower built in 1912. The final push to the summit is dominated by a loose rock and talus slope. Chutes will be marked to the summit to ensure a safe ascent and descent. Safety on this slippery slope is essential so please use caution and stay on the marked trail at all times. Racers will turnaround at the tower, following the trail 4 miles back down to the finish line.
The trail is 75% single track, 99% trail, has 2,200 ft. of elevation gain. It is a mix of jeep road, single track and talus slope. This is a challenge course that is not for the faint of heart! Don’t forget to pose for your “jump shot” at the top of Hahns Peak, and keep an eye out for the North Routt Yeti, who some locals swear is lurking in the woods!

8 Miles Run Trail
Sat, Jul 18, 2026 at 8:00 AM
The race is held on the beautiful Spring Creek trail with wildflowers and Aspen trees next to bubbling Spring Creek. The 9.5 mile race is run on an up and down scenic loop on primitive trail, two
track, single track and briefly on forest service road. This course gains ~1,750 ft. in the first 4 miles with most of that being from mile 2-4. This section of the race takes the runner up unimproved rocky and narrow single track and over several large downed trees before it descends on a smooth rolling downhill trail. The 5K race is an out and back on the beautiful Spring Creek trail on rolling two track and single track. Come out for a great day of running, a prize drawing and an even better post-race meal made by Freshies.
This race is held in memory of Patty Brenner Hagberg who was struck and killed by a truck along the lower part of the trail in 1991. This race should remind all of us the importance of sharing multi-purpose use trails.

Hayden and West Routt County have some excellent road and mountain biking opportunities, on a great network of quiet, rural gravel roads.
The ride has several options including:
‘Gravel Grinder’ north on the Cog that starts with a challenging ride on pavement up the Cog then circles west on gravel roads around Elkhead Reservoir.
27 mile ‘Mud Route’, almost entirely on gravel and dirt, starts with a spectacular climb up the Middle Cog then heads along remote backcountry routes including the homestead of Ferry Carpenter.
43 mile ‘Combined Ride’ which features the best of both routes.
The “Combined” the "Gravel Grinder", "Mud Route" rides begin at 10:00am.
