Welcome to the Hill Hunter Challenge

Head for the Hills and take on our brand-new monthly elevation challenge. Learn to climb like a boss as you progress through the monthly challenges. A new test every month will develop your strength and stamina as each time the difficulty level is taken up a notch. Will you make it to the end of this month’s challenge and be crowned a ‘Hill Hunter’

This inclusive event is all about the love of hills and it is up to you how you climb them. Run or bike, the choice is yours. To achieve gold and silver standard, complete the task in one single big day effort or for bronze standard complete the challenge over the course of the month with lots of smaller activities that add up to the required target – it’s totally up to you!

Once your challenge is complete and you send us your activity data to be verified, you will be sent a limited-edition Hill Hunter t-shirt. Available in casual or technical styles, the Hill Hunter t-shirt can only be obtained by completing this challenge, and is a specific colour for each monthly challenge.

The end date for this challenge is 23:59 on Tuesday 30 June 2020

CoVID-19: As this challenge is open to participants worldwide you must follow the governing authority guidelines in force in your legal jurisdiction at the time of entering, if subsequently these guidelines or rules change then please give full consideration to the new guidance and if required do not continue with the challenge. We only recommend undertaking long activities if they have been expressly permitted by your governing authority. There is plenty of time to achieve the elevation target by combining a number of separate, shorter activities. We also accept virtual results (treadmill, Zwift etc.). We strongly advise any participant not to undertake any activity which could place themselves or others in potential harm or where it would potentially place any additional strain on the health and medical system in your jurisdiction.
