Hikers: This group is for those who want to participate without having to worry about time. Led by two different pace leaders, this non-competitive division will start 1hour early and allow participants to walk/hike the entire course with our designated leaders, without fear of cut offs or time pressure. 

The Spirit of the hiking division is to include those that enjoy the scenic and supported experience of the event to walk or hike (no running) without the worry of cut-offs. Estimated finish times are 2 hrs for the Sport course and 3 hrs for the Enduro. ***THIS IS NOT AN EARLY START FOR RUNNERS*** If you believe that you can complete the sport course in under 2 hours or the enduro course in less than 3 hours, please start at the regular time. Having Hikers finish before the regular running participants creates a logistical nightmare for our timers so PLEASE observe this rule of NO RUNNING so we can continue to welcome this division!

Though the hiker division does not have a podium. ALL participants are entered into the draw prizing and encouraged to join for games and raffles!

We are proudly a cup-free event: All of our events are cup-free. This means that there will not be cups at the start or finish line or at any of the aid stations on course. Water and electrolyte drink will be available at the start and finish line and at one or more aid stations throughout the race (varies by venue). If you plan to be out for longer than an hour, please carry a receptacle for drinking and transporting liquid, calories and electrolytes.

Blonyx Hydra+ will be the on-course electrolyte beverage at all 5 Peaks races this season, made with real-food ingredients like mango and passionfruit juice, coconut water, sea salt, and organic cane sugar to keep you hydrated and your muscles working from start to finish.
