60, 30 and 15 Mile Courses
2022 Course Information2022 COURSE MAPS
First, this race would not be possible without the cooperation and generosity of several land owners and managers in the Big Sky area. Our courses travel in and out of private and public lands. Putting the routes together, while being mindful of hazards, roads, horse traffic, easements and just good ole’ fashioned manners was not easy. There were numerous conversations, edits, phone calls, meetings, more edits, and then more favors being asked.
UPDATED January 2022:
We have new course maps for the 60 and 30 mile courses, and a new 15 mile course. Please see details below.
60 Mile Course
The 60 mile course will be similar to the 2021 long course, with some changes. We will no longer be using the North Fork Ridge Trail or Lower Beehive Basin Trail. We will be adding singletrack in the Moonlight and Spanish Peaks areas. Expect the course to be a true 60 miles with roughly 9,000 feet of climbing. Course will still include Mountain to Meadow, Fishcamp, First and Second Yellowmules loop (with Bacon+Whiskey station atop Buck ridge), and the same finish into town on Ralph’s – Uplands.
Final course maps will be coming in summer.
