Endurance Events for Hikers

You Do The Training, We Supply The Goal

Designed by Hikers for Hikers

The Crucible is a 20 plus mile, self supported endurance hike along back country trails. The purpose of this event is to offer an exciting personal challenge specifically designed for the hiking community.

The Crucible is not a race - you versus you!

Since its inception in 2019, The Crucible has helped raise over $30,000 for charity.

Our Mission

The Crucible is dedicated to fostering a vibrant hiking community by providing an exhilarating endurance hike that challenges participants both physically and mentally. We aim to connect individuals with nature, promote personal growth, and enhance local community engagement, all while encouraging fitness and mental well-being. Through shared experiences and the strength of camaraderie, we inspire hikers to embrace their journey and cultivate lasting connections with each other and the great outdoors.
