Charge The Hill! 2022-2

This will be a fun challenge for road and trail runners alike!

It's an endurance run format of 1, 2, or 3 hours around the Hockley Hill. The course is a 1.5mi paved loop that includes one hill ascent and descent per loop.

You will go around, up, and down the "Hockley Hill" as many times as you can in the endurance event of your choice:

  • 1HR solo
  • 2HR solo
  • 3HR solo
  • 3HR relay (2-4 team members)
  • Reds Hill Dash! (1 loop for kids 12 and under)

Don't let the Hill intimidate you! The race course is 1.5 miles long, and you only have to go up the hill once each lap, meaning you only get to run up the hill 4-5 times per hour.

This is the tallest hill you can run in Houston!
