Explore Iconic Trail Running Adventures
The Trail Hub’s original fat-ass mountain run is back! Born from the need for last-minute UTMB points (way back then) and the desire for some gnarly fun. This bare-bones event strips racing down to its essentials.
Limited to just 35 runners, your $200 entry covers a basic aid station, a finish line, and the coveted black Hilly Grail tee. You’ll earn ITRA points while tackling a single-loop course: 23km of relentless climbing and technical singletrack, with one aid station halfway at Pak Kung Au.
No frills. No fuss. Just pure trail grit.
