    Hill of a Race is an event unlike anything seen in the Edmonton area. When's the last time you powered your way up a groomed ski run in your runners? The race is held on the groomed slopes of the Rabbit Hill Snow Resort. And no, there will not be any skiers or snowboarders on the hill with you. It will be a challenging and exciting time for all levels of snow runners, walkers, crawlers and sliders.

    You will be making your way up and down groomed ski runs so extra traction under your runners may be required.  Your call.  Walking poles are permitted.  Can't wait to see you at the hill!

    You can only register for this event online by clicking on the Register Here button on any page on our website.
