June 1, 2024

Registration is open for the 20th almost annual edition of the Blue Mound Trail Run on June 1, 2024.  We’ll have two distances as in past years, but this year we’re bumping the long one up to 20K in honor of the 20th annual.  


June 15, 2024

Three routes, two county tours, one result:
a painfully fun, must-do biking experience.

2024 marks the 21st Horribly Hilly Hundreds. “The Toughest One-Day Challenge Ride in the Midwest” is not to be missed by serious riders anywhere.
