**Exciting New Course Announcement!**
Get ready for an exhilarating race experience with our upgraded course at Jack and Jill Montana! We’ve made significant improvements by NOW starting on Trail Creek Rd and eliminating the last 8 challenging hilly miles, now concluding in Sacagawea Park. This newly designed 26.2-mile course features a scenic and rolling downhill route that avoids those final hills at the end, ensuring a faster finish into Livingston.
The race kicks off at the top of Trail Creek Road, where you’ll embark on a gradual “rolling” downhill course. You’ll glide down a wide, hard-packed dirt road for the first 20 miles surrounded by the majestic Absaroka Mountain Range—truly a sight to behold! After a left turn onto Yellowstone Trail Road, you’ll continue your gradual descent immersing yourself in the natural beauty around you. As you approach the final 6 miles, you’ll transition to a smooth, paved running and bike path that leads you into the charming town of Livingston and ultimately to Sacagawea Park, nestled along the serene Yellowstone River. Join us for this remarkable race and experience the thrill of running through stunning landscapes, fun finish line festivities, while enjoying a fast PR and/or BQ finish in YELLOWSTONE COUNTRY!
