Tour of the Mountain Hike - Starts @ 8:00AM

This trail hike takes us through the diverse terrain of Rib Mountain State Park. You'Tll experience elevation climb and decent, standing forest, beautiful rock formations and views across Marathon County. The hike will be approximately 6.5 miles, estimated to take 1.5-3 hrs.

King of the Hill Challenge - Starts @ 9:30AM

The Power & Endurance Challenge. Grab your pack, add some weight, and prepare to climb. Rib Mountain offers some of the fastest elevation gain and decent in the area and we'Tre going to put you to the test! HOW IT WORKS - You, the hiker, will grab their pack and gauge how much weight you want to put in your pack. Then you will do hill repeats on the ski face. Hike up and down the course as many times as you can in 1 hour. That is half your score. The second half of your score will be based on your pack weight times % of body mass as your score.
