Description

Take a walk on the WILDSTRIDE! Happy Cat Fitness often attempts to promote strength training alonside running and hiking. Let's combine the two! T he event will combine bodyweight strength exercises with hiking/running intervals . There will be two distance options, the Hikestrong 10k and Hikestrong Half . It will feature 3 (10k) or 6 (13.1) stations of low impact , bodyweight, basic strength challenges like squats, lunges and push ups. The course will be a 2.2 mile trail loop with beautiful scenery, some hills and a gentle crushed rock surface. Racers can run or walk. Modifications will be given for the strength exercises and no equipment is needed. Participants are encouraged to push themselves by wearing a weighted vest/rucksack for the hikes and/or exercise stations as well!

WHY? My hope is that racers will not only train for the hike/run, but also the strength exercises (these will be announced ahead of time). This therefore, will encourage folks to start incorporating crosstraining into their workouts. The race will be challenging for sure, but you can do more than you think!

HOW? Choose your distance & commit. I will post & email workouts leading up to help you with training! The Half (13.1 miles) will have a 5 hour cutoff and you can downgrade to the 10k mid race if you need to (but we will try and push you to keep at it!)

WHAT'S INCLUDED? This race is non competitive (except with yourself!) All racers who complete the challenge will receive a finisher award and an official time. The course will be clearly marked and we will create a fun, inclusive environment for all. Light refreshments will be served, including water & electrolytes. Parking is included in the registration fee. T-shirts and merchandise will be available to purchase at checkout (or later up to 3 weeks prior to the event). T-shirts are not included in the race fee! Cutoff to order a T-shirt is March 23, 2026.
