Mountain Goat Hill Race

Saturday, March 21, 2020, at 11:00 am
Kickapoo State Recreation Area

The 34th Annual Mountain Goat hill race is postponed. In light of COVID-19, we are following the best practices of social distancing provided by public health officials. (We know, we know. This club is tough. You know that if you’ve ever eaten chicken wings right after a sweaty high five at the Howl or shared gold fish you carried in your pocket during the HASH.) But, we need to follow the guidelines set for us to mitigate the spread of illness.

The KRR board members pondered over this decision for a few days and are working to provide you with details as quickly as possible. Currently, we have not confirmed an alternative date for the Mountain Goat, but we will still run those hills! The board continuing to monitor public health organizations, and we will post updates to our Facebook page and website as soon as we have information.

Again, the Mountain Goat is POSTPONED, and we WILL have the race at a later date. Thank you for understanding.
