READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The start and finish are at the Seeley Creek Ski Trails in Seeley Lake.

BIB pickup is reported to begin at around 8 a.m. on race day, with the race starting at 9 a.m. The entire course is unpaved, moving between ski trails,

singletrack, and Forest Service roads through the wild landscape of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, so trail shoes are recommended.

The 50K has a cutoff requiring runners to complete the first loop by 1:30 p.m.;

missing it results in disqualification, so pacing early in the race is important.

Finishers receive a medal and lanyard, custom BIB, stickers, and Hammer Nutrition products.

Aid stations and chip timing are provided throughout the course.

Check the race’s RunSignUp registration page, managed by Wolfpack Trail Run, for the exact entry fee.
