Beartooth Run
The Beartooth Run is for the strong and the determined. From Red Lodge, Montana runners can chose to participate in an 8.2 or 4.2 mile race. The course begins 14 miles south of town on Highway 212 at the Parkside Campground. Runners gain 2,000 feet of elevation as they climb from 7,000 feet at the bottom of the pass to 9,000 feet close to the top.
Spectators and runners alike are offered some of the most spectacular views of snow capped peaks, lakes, and glaciers as they switch back and forth up the Beartooth Highway. If you are a runner or striving to be one, come warm up those muscles on what a CBS news correspondent called the "most beautiful road in America."
Race fees are $25 for 16yo and under, and $30 for 17yo+. The fee includes a t-shirt and refreshments. While you are in Red Lodge, Montana, take some time to enjoy Yellowstone National Park from the northeast entrance into the Lamar Valley. The Beartooth Run will be one of the most exhilarating events of the year.
