The iconic JBTR course features a scenic loop starting at Sypes Canyon trailhead and continuing across private property only accessible on race day. Great climbs follow as the runners head up Middle Cottonwood after a challenging water crossing, then continue across the Bridgers and down Sypes Canyon. (Due to COVID-19 there will be no aid stations along the course this year. Please carry all the food/water you need).
If for some reason the course is not accessible due to the fire clean-up, we will host a beautiful 10k road running race. Same place, same times, same feel-good event!
