Fundraising Adventures
God willing, I will be lining up for 3 of Montana's toughest Ultra marathons this year,
to help raise awareness to stand up our after school Biblically based strength
& conditioning after school program for youth in the Gallatin Valley.
You can support by prayer, coming to support at the races and/or partnering
with us financially. Thank you for your support. God bless you
Old Gabe and Blanket Chief are both nicknames for Jim Bridger who lived in the wild west from 1822 (age 17) until 1867. The 50K is closer to 34 miles than it is to 31. Climbing on the course is difficult and the 50K will result in a total climb of approx. 11,500'.
The Devil's Backbone 50 Miler is one of Montana's most challenging ultramarathon events, set in the remote and rugged Gallatin National Forest and in the traditional territory of the Apsaaloké, TsÄ—héstáno and Niitsitapi peoples. Designed for experienced trail runners, this race offers a demanding course that traverses high mountain ridges and valleys. The single 50-mile course with elevations reaching over 10,000 feet rewards runners with sweeping views of the Gallatin and Bridger mountain ranges.
THIS IS A TOUGH EVENT. Spectacular Montana backcountry, 37 miles of very technical single track trails, 13 miles of primitive/double track jeep road and 1 mile of maintained dirt Forest Service road. Approximately 13,400 feet of elevation gain and maximum elevation of just under 9,000’. Big climbs, big descents, big Montana views. No pavement, just Elkhorn Mountains dirt, rocks, forests, meadows, rocks, a historic ghost town and cemetery, rocks, a mountain lake, cold, clear creeks to splash through, and rocks.
We Would Love Your Support!
