Speedy race from the Little Belt mountains in Lewis & Clark National Forest to Historic Harlowton MT. Start this race with epic views of the Crazy Mountains and finish with a complimentary hand-crafted pint from local Gally's Brewing Company. Race is entirely on leg-saving compacted gravel with 1800 feet of net decline. Gravel is super shoe friendly with calcium chloride treated hard pack for the majority of the run. This race is a fundraiser for AIDSPIRIT USA, a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization that has been providing orphaned, abandoned, or abused children in the Kayunga District of Uganda with a safe home, food, clothing, medicine, and most importantly, an education since 2009. Every penny we raise goes directly to meet the needs of the children we are helping. www.aidspiritusa.org Marathon Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3061423149561722420 Awards: Top 3 Female and Male overall finishers in the Marathon, as well as first overall female and male in the 1/2 and 10k.
