Not Sure Where to Start? Start Here. 🎯

Your first summit or the hardest endurance Event on Earth.

Both live here.

IronHike is a veteran-owned elevation-based endurance event series and New England's premier vertical trail endurance event series. No lifts. No shortcuts. No gondola. Earn every up and every down. The self-powered Everesting alternative on the East Coast — where you earn every descent.

If you've done 5Ks, half marathons, or weekend hikes and keep asking what's next — this is what's next. No running required. If you can walk up a mountain repeatedly, you can do this.

You won't go up alone. The Tribe is already there — at 2 AM, at the base, on the trail. Shared suffering builds something that finish-line medals don't.

💰 Individual registrations from $145. Veterans, Military & First Responders from $75 with code brave70. All athletes get $50 off with code reg50.

💡 What to Know

Mountain Athletes' Guide — Mohawk Mountain

Everything you need to know about the course, the venue, training, gear, and what to expect on the mountain. Read it before you arrive.

📖 Read the Mountain Athletes' Guide

The FlexRelay Format

At IronHike we use a FlexRelay format for each of our Events. We call them FlexRelays because they are flexible. Each team member, whether in the Trail Buddy or Trail Family event, has no minimum or maximum laps, mileage, elevation, or time on the course. Teams manage who is on the mountain for how long and when, according to conditions, fitness levels, and the needs of the team.

Common Questions

Do I need to be a runner? No. IronHike is a hiking Event. If you can walk up a mountain repeatedly and keep moving, you can do this. Running is never required.

What if I can't finish? Every lap is earned. There is no shame in stopping. Every Mountain Athlete sets their own ceiling — the Event ends when you decide it ends, or when the Final Bell rings.

Cancellations, Deferrals & Transfers

Policy: No refunds, deferrals, or transfers between series. Upon request, you may receive an 80% credit toward any future event (no expiration). All sales final.

We do not offer refunds or deferrals. However, if you are unable to attend your registered event, we can provide a single-use coupon for 80% off any future registration with no expiration date. The remaining 20% acts as a change fee to help cover overhead and processing fees. Transfers within the same series are allowed on a case-by-case basis.

Get Off the Couch Adventure Day

June 7, 2026 | Norbrook Farm Brewery | Colebrook, CT

Join us for the Get Off the Couch Foundation’s Annual Adventure Day at Norbrook Farm Brewery — a day of outdoor activity, community, and impact.

Inspired by the adventurous spirit of Chris Del Sole, the Get Off the Couch Foundation helps children experience the confidence, joy, and lifelong benefits that come from getting outside and getting active.

Participants can choose their own adventure before gathering for a relaxed afternoon celebration at the brewery.

Activities may include*:

• Mountain biking

• Trail running

• Hiking or walking

• Kids outdoor activities

Afterward, everyone comes together for great food, drinks, music, and community while celebrating the difference we’re making together.

Funds raised support programs that help children access outdoor opportunities such as mountain bike camps, learn-to-ride programs, learn-to-ski and snowboard packages, and adaptive outdoor experiences.

Come ride, hike, run, walk — or simply join us to support the mission.

Let’s get off the couch and make a difference.
