Two Events.
One Blazing Day.
Blazing Hills brings together trail running and obstacle course racing in one epic location, on the same electric day.
Each event has its own personality, but they share the same heart. Our event hub and shared finish line gets exceptional reviews, from the homemade tasty delights right up to the hot showers.
When we say you’re genuinely welcome here, we really mean it.
