Hardrock Experience
The Virtual Hardrock Experience is a four-week endurance challenge that mirrors the grueling Hardrock 100, pushing you to the limits with a blend of distance, elevation, and the spirit of exploration. Throughout the event, you’ll set your own pace, taking on challenges that test your resilience and celebrate the adventure of trail running. Whether you're aiming to reach 10 miles with 5,000 feet of elevation or conquering the full 102.5 miles and 33,197 feet, each step brings you closer to earning badges and embracing the Hardrock spirit.
Along the way, mini-challenges like capturing a stunning sunrise, tagging unique trail features, or pushing for maximum elevation gain add an extra layer of fun and motivation. Lace up, hit the trails, and see how far you can go!
*Registration window: May 27 - June 16, 2025
