Our King/Queen of the Hill challenge is a yearly competition consisting of various hill workouts through the winter. Each workout has a unique challenge that give runners of all abilities equal opportunities to win. One week it might be about consistency of repetitions, and another about matching effort on two different hills. The weekly winner wears a Tour de France style polka dot shirt as the previous weekly champion. The overall series winner receives a gift card to a local running store and the bragging rights of being the Northstar Running King or Queen of the Hills!
