Lake Vian Hilltop Run

Get ready to party lakeside!  This looped course will have you coming through the cheer zone every 1.35 miles.  Aid stations and bathrooms every 1.35 miles? Heck, yes! We'll have plenty of sugary and salty calories and hydration to keep you going. Oh yeah, the actual running/walking part of the course. It's mixed paved and single track dirt trails that wind through the woods to the hilltop overlooking Lake Vian.  We have a 4 Miler, Half Marathon, Marathon, 50k, and 50 Miler.  How hilly is Hilltop? About 100 feet of elevation gain per mile. So finishing any of the distances is a big deal.  That's why we have finisher medals for all who complete at least 4 miles.  We're also doing Top 3 Overall Human awards for each distance.  We even allow for drop downs to shorter distance. However, if you drop down, you no longer qualify for Top 3 Overall Human awards. Register by February 14 (Valentine's Day) for a guaranteed shirt.

Arnold Begay will be taking pictures at the 2024 event. They’re available for FREE download a few days after the event. Check out the 2023 photos and 2022 photos.

Hilltop does not happen without volunteers. Volunteers applied for grant money to build the trails. Volunteers have put on the training runs leading up to this event. We need volunteers. We have everything from helping with setup, to packet pickup and course marshaling. We would love to have you as part of our team.
