We would like to thank the 'Tres Hermanas' of Karen, Natalie, and Nancy for entrusting us with this event in 2024. Over the past several years they have poured a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and endless nights and energy into growing this wonderful event and helping our local trail and ultra running community flourish. We are hoping to do them justice in continuing to serve up a fun filled grassroots race!
Glacier Hills Ultra gives runners the chance to take the next step to a longer distance as it provides race distances of 20 km, 30 km, and 50 km. We have a hard cutoff of 8 hours the 50k, 7 hours for the 30k, 6 hours for the 20k. All races must be completed BY 2PM!
Since we start at 6am all runners must be done by 2 pm (horses are not allowed on the course until after 1:30) if for some reason horses do get onto the trail before the set time make sure to notify us so we can alert the park rangers.
Our volunteers are limited on their ability to stay and help so we need to be strict with this. If the time cut off is an issue please message the directors.
This race is just a fun event and a break from the daily grind of our daily lives. This is not our full-time job. Sometimes our communication is great, sometimes overwhelming and other years next to nothing. We thank you for choosing to run with us and see the secrets that Newton Hills holds!
Depending on volunteers we will try to get splits for your loops during the race. We are not perfect.
