Get ready to conquer the ultimate outdoor fitness challenge at the Hill of a Race, taking place on Saturday, August 15, 2026, in Bloomington, Illinois. This exhilarating 3-mile obstacle run transforms the scenic Ewing Park II into a dynamic playground, featuring at least 25 challenging obstacles designed to test your lifting, carrying, climbing, crawling, agility, and balance skills. Runners will navigate a course winding through natural meadow areas and into the Hedge Apple Woods Natural Area, promising both a physical test and picturesque scenery.

The Hill of a Race caters to all levels of participants, from competitive athletes to families seeking an engaging day out. Choose to push your limits in one of the competitive waves for men, women, or masters (40+), or enjoy the camaraderie in multiple recreational waves designed for fun. For those craving an extreme test of endurance, the unique Endurance Challenge dares participants to complete as many laps of the obstacle course as possible between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Endurance Challenge participants even have the advantage of skipping obstacle lines to maximize their lap count.

Held in mid-August, typical race day conditions in Bloomington present highs around 85F and lows around 61F, with a 14% chance of precipitation, ensuring a warm and potentially refreshing challenge. This popular event, presented by Bloomington Parks and Recreation in partnership with Dust2Glory Fitness, has earned a reputation as a vibrant celebration of community and fitness, welcoming participants aged 7 and up (with adult supervision for younger runners) to experience an unforgettable day of triumphs at Ewing Park II.
