Hilloween is back to whip your ass! The event has evolved to match our darkest intentions, gaining as much altitude at the highest effort possible.
12 hour hill repeats? DEAD.

Mt Tiger Mile? TOO SMALL!
Hilloween XIII gives you exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes to get as much gain as possible! What will be your best strategy in this new, perfect length, time window?
Hilloween is dead. Long live Hilloween.
