This is a 26-mile running race on mostly single-track trails with more than 5,000 feet of climbing. The first 2,800 feet of climbing occur in just over 5 miles to the top of Blacktail Mountain. The last 21 miles still include >2000 feet of climbing as you gradually descend the long ridge leading to the finish at Herron Park.
Meet at Herron Park. There will be a shuttle to the Lakeside to Blacktail trailhead where the race will begin.
After The Race: We will likely have a post-race get-together at Bias Brewing in Kalispell from 6-8 p.m. We can grab a bite to eat, share stories from the day, give away swag, and recognize the top 3 men’s and women’s finishers.
