Copper Hills Four Peak Challenge - 2/14/2026
Today I participated in the Copper Hills Four Peak Challenge, where I hiked four peaks in Peoria. There were three different challenges, hiking, half marathon, and 22 mile trail run. I hiked 12.5 miles, and climbed 2523 feet in 3 hours and 45 minutes. They don't keep any official times for the hikers, but I'm pretty sure I was one of the first few to finish all four. The first two trails, Westwing Mountain Trail, and Sunrise Mountain Trail, I ran as much as I could, which put me far ahead of the most of the other hikers. After that I hiked, and did a little of running on the remaining trails, Eastwing Mountain Trail, and Calderwood Butte Trail. Overall this was an excellent event, and I would do it again, maybe next time I'll try the half marathon challenge.
