Gates Of Yellowstone Triathlon

If you thought the drive was scenic....

The 56th Annual Beartooth Run is back on top as the highest 5k/10k road race in the US (sorry all you Half-ers, Pikes Peak ascent goes higher)! Enjoy a breathtaking drive up the Beartooth Pass before the race course takes your breath away! Each race starts at 10,500 and tops out at 11,00ft. The only thing that will make you forget you're running uphill at high elevation are the views of wild flowers, high mountain plateaus, glaciers, and maybe mountain goat or two!

All ages and abilities are welcome. $15 kid registration. Walkers are welcome on the 5k course. While dogs are strollers aren't welcome on the course, we have great spots at the start/finish for spectating!

Cody Regional Health and Wyo Hoofbeats are excited to partner for Tails and Trails, a fun-filled 5K event designed to raise funds for Wyo Hoofbeats and promote the incredible animal therapy program at Cody Regional Health.

Welcome to the 7th annual Fistful Of Dirt - the wild west of gravel riding right here in Cody, Wyo. Get your bike tuned up and pull your hat down tight – this ain’t your mama’s gravel bike race. Sunday, September 6th will be a wild west gravel grinder of grand proportions.

The Sheriff still has the same distances and whether you choose to ride The Good (20 Miles), The Drifter (47 Miles), The Bad (67 Miles), or The Ugly (108 Miles), you’re sure to get a hearty mouthful of our Whiskey Gravel – we leave the champagne to the city folk. From the Peaks of the McCulloughs, to Oregon Basin and through exclusive access on the iconic Hoodoo Ranch – The Sheriff of Fistful Of Dirt brings you the very best of the west. Smooth and chunky gravel, nicely packed dirt, some single track, some rocks, and a little bit of sand thrown in for good measure are what make up The Sheriff’s Whiskey Gravel. Please note that our gravel comes in all shapes and forms - part of the fun and challenge of Fistful Of Dirt is the potential roughness and unpredictability of our terrain. Our courses are definitely designed for gravel bikes, but for the 20-Mile course, some folks may be more comfortable on a mountain bike.. E-Bikes only allowed in the 20-Mile "Good" distance.

AND, for 2026, we're continuing the Sheriff's Purse the Fistful Of Dirt Ugly & Bad distances with separate and equal divisions for men & women. The Sheriff's Purse is our very own purse-prize structure in which everyone has a chance at winning, and you won't know 'til you finish where you stand. Scroll to the bottom for Sheriff's Purse details.

Once you cross the finish line, the party is on for all riders! Cool your blazing saddle with a bustlin’ post-ride shindig – the music will be pumping and the beer will be cold. Enjoy Cody for a weekend full of bikes, brews, and attractions. Whether you ride, or just come for the fun, it’ll be a wild west weekend to remember.

This year's race will be capped at 300 racers - so get in there early!

What you get when you register:

• An amazing race through beautiful Wyoming public lands, and some very special private land

• Custom FFOD Schwag - TBD (check back!)

• Free drinks and music at packet-pick up on Saturday

• Free beer and food truck meal ticket at the finish line

• A chance at winning a custom FFOD bolo tie for the top 3 male and female finishers in each race (first place only for E-bike division unless we get a bigger turnout)

• A chance at winning some of the Sheriff's Purse - check out fistfulofdirt.com for more details on that

• A dang good time

The Sheriff's Purse - $3500 for The Ugly & The Bad - Here's how it works...

The Sheriff will be awarding cash prizes for 1st place male & female finishers in 3 divisions for The Ugly and The Bad races. The first division will be the 1st overall male & female finishers of each of the two races. The second division will be the 1st male & female finishers that are at least 1 hour after the 1st place male & female finishers (respectively) of the first division. The third division winners will be the 1st male & female finishers at least 1 hour after the 1st male & female finishers (respectively) of the second division.

Everyone has a chance for some cash…

The Sheriff’s Purse not only recognizes elite riders, but also those who have the grit of the west. If you’re a front runner, you know where you stand…but if you’re not, you’ll just need to keep giving it your all to find out where you land when you cross the finish – everyone has a chance to win some of the Sheriff’s Purse – and we sure hope you’re one of them, pardner!
