Event Details:
Beartooth Run - Montana's classic hill climb road race, The Beartooth Run was moved from its traditional course last year to a new 10k at 10000 course on the top of the pass.
- July 13, 2014 - Sunday Morning*
- Race starts at 8:30am on the top of the Beartooth Pass.
- Registration opens March 1st, 2014
Why the sudden date change just before registration opens? Sadly due to the federal budget cuts there is a chance that the Beartooth Pass won't be plowed till 3-4 weeks after Memorial Day weekend. We have decided that instead of hoping that the pass is plowed before our original date of June 23rd that we would play it safe and ensure that the race will happen with a later date. Thanks and sorry for any planning inconveniences that this may cause.
Montana's classic hill climb road race, The Beartooth Run was moved from its traditional course last year to a new 10k at 10000 course on the top of the pass. The new course (see map) showcases awesome views from the top of the Line Creek Plateau, including the amazing Bear's Tooth which the area was named after. Along with its amazing vistas this course is all above 10000 feet making it one of the if not the highest road races in Country. Runners well have the choice between a 5k and 10k distance.
