"With Prescott a short drive away from the Twin Cities, we are excited about bringing a great event to cyclists in the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin"
CHANHASSEN, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM), the Healthy Way of Life Company, has announced the details of the latest cycle event to join its expanding portfolio, Hillfest. The race, which will take place Saturday, June 18, in Prescott, Wisc., was created to meet the growing interest in multi-distance cycle training rides for cyclists of all skill levels. The inaugural event features a challenging 200-kilometer course, and will also include 100- and 50-kilometer distances.
Hillfest will start and finish at Prescott High School. The 100-kilometer looping course will follow some of Western Wisconsin's most beautiful and steep back country roads. Cyclists who opt for the 200-kilometer double-loop will climb more than 5,000 feet in elevation. The 100- and 50-kilometer course option are geared towards those who want a similar challenge on a shorter course or those just getting introduced to mountain biking.
“With Prescott a short drive away from the Twin Cities, we are excited about bringing a great event to cyclists in the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin,” said Kenneth Cooper, vice president of Endurance and Athletic Events for Life Time. “Cyclists looking for a combination of speed and challenging hills will love this course. Your quads, not so much.”
