The Mount 100

The Mount 100 is a four-part endurance series established in 2011 and destined to be a new Mount tradition.The series consists of four single-day distance hikes over the course of the school year, cumulatively totaling 100 miles.This joint program between the offices of Outdoor Adventures and Intramural and Club Sports offers an opportunity for members of the Mount community to prove to themselves that they can do something amazing. To help participants succeed, the Mount 100 includes pre-trip orientation and training, detailed course maps for each event, and aid stations on each trail. We’ve even got a custom training plan to get you ready for the hikes. Anybody can do this if they are willing to step up to the physical and mental challenge, but completing the entire Mount 100 will come only to those who dedicate to training and dig deep on each hike!
