The Horribly Hilly Hundreds 2025 is the Midwest’s premiere sufferfest and is worth putting on your season’s bucket list.
The event has three ride options: 100k, 150k, and 200k routes; this event is no joke whatsoever. And with more than 10,000 feet of climbing, the Horribly Hilly Hundred is one of the hardest one-day events in the Midwest. With a massive rider field coming to the event in the past few years, the average field size for the ride is more than 1,300. A lottery system has been implemented to accommodate the mass number of sufferers to ride along Wisconsin’s scenic byways so everybody can have a fair chance at entry. For the people who want to go uphill a lot and test themselves physically and mentally, then the Horribly Hilly Hundreds is something to put on the bucket list.
