Where: Racers start out at Fairy Lake Trailhead which heads up Sacajawea Peak, and continues on the course ridge, north of Bozeman, Montana.

Fees: Typically there is an entry fee (non-transferable or refundable). Free for previous race winners.

Detail: All first-time runners are REQUIRED to attend a Course Orientation Meeting. They also will need to bring their own snacks and water bottles/camelbacks to supplement the limited supplies at three official race aid stations. Racers should be prepared for unpredictable mountain weather conditions. Volunteer support is always appreciated by Big Sky Wind Drinkers, BRR Coordinator.
