Join us for these September 2022 events!
The Yellowstone Gateway 30k is just two weeks away!
So far, we have more than 160 people signed up – the most ever since the race launched in 2018.
This race covers 18 miles of trail and gravel roads, starting at Sage Lodge and traveling 3,000 feet up Emigrant Gulch before descending to the finish at Chico Hot Springs, where lunch and Katabatic beer will be provided for runners and volunteers. Registration is $65 per person. As directors and racers, we are committed to sustainability and choose to tread lightly and steward the landscape responsibly.
We still have a few spots left for runners and are in need of a few more volunteers as well. To register or volunteer, please visit our website.
Each year, the race celebrates the beautiful Paradise Valley and Emigrant Gulch and commemorates the passage of the Yellowstone Gateway Protection Act in March 2019. That bill permanently protected over 30,000 acres of Custer-Gallatin National Forest from gold mining.
Hope to see you there!
