WOLF RUN SERIES
This year we feature the RUNNING WOLF route, so if you missed it the first time around, now's your chance to complete this course as part of your Wolf Trifecta Series. The route this year will start in the Little Belt Mountains, this is a mostly downhill course for 9 miles where it then veers right to add a couple challenging climbs before the finish.
To complete the Wolf Trifecta Series you must eventually finish all three courses (Running Wolf, Dry Wolf and Big Bad Wolf), either running or biking. These do not have to be completed in consecutive years. Once all three races are in the books, not only will you have bragging rights, but you'll be rewarded with a Wolf Trifecta Series T-shirt and hand-made medal!
We also offer a 5K race and a 1-mile fun run/walk.
In 2027, we will offer the Dry Wolf race and then in 2028 we will again offer the Big Bad Wolf race.
Mark your calendar now and make your plans to take part in this unique experience!
Proceeds from both races will benefit Basin Wellness Center, a facility in-the-making with the goal of "bringing health and wellness to Judith Basin County." Check out our Facebook page for more information about our project!
