Start and Finish:
7:30 a.m. start. Allow enough time to get to the startline as it is about 1 mile (downhill!) from the registration area. 

After the race you will have a 3.5 mile walk/jog back to your car, where you can marvel at your accomplishment and the views!

Shirts:

We have a t-shirt option again in 2026.  50/50 blend unisex t-shirts are included with registration for all adult entries. Shirts are available for purchase for Youth and Young Adult ARR members for $20. Register early to ensure availability of your requested size. 

Vintage Shirt Sale:   We will be selling Vintage Jerome Hill Climb shirts from previous years for $5 each.  Cash or Venmo only.

Timing:

The race uses the traditional bib pull timing system. All runner’s times are recorded based on the starting gun.

Parking:
Parking is limited in Jerome so we ask that you plan accordingly and give yourself enough time to park in the main parking lot past the Fire Department building and then walk/jog to the start line (approximately one mile downhill). There is absolutely no parking or dropping off at the start line.

Please Note:
Spectators are NOT allowed to drive on the course! For the safety and enjoyment of the runners, DON’T drive on the course. The dirt road is narrow and dusty. Park at the lot behind the firehouse and walk along the course to watch the runners.
