'Hilloween' at the Jerry Springer
The inaugural Hill Climb Challenge came to a close with the running of the postponed Wild Horse Mountain leg. We had sufficient numbers right through the series to make the test worthwhile, along with several runners completing each round, there were some impressive performances delivered.
What next?
​
Round 1 has been and gone and we now head to Wild Horse Mountain for February's Round 2. It's not as severe and not as long as the Jerry SPringer, but it's not to be underestimated.
As well as recording the distance and ascents, we'll be keeping an eye on the elevation over all rounds and there will be 'Everesting' awards at the end of the series, whereby your ascent correlates with the various elevations of the more significant milestones on Everest.
During the last series we had only one 'Summit' with Connie Stevenson crushing the series overall. As the 2019 series was held on a trial basis, we think it will get a bit more serious this time around.
