Race Summary
You’ll have 6 days to cover about 450 miles, navigating your way across The Cowboy State via foot, mountain bike, and watercraft. This unbridled adventure takes place in the heart of the state’s jaw-dropping landscape and alongside Wyoming’s diverse array of wildlife. At any point it could just be you, your teammates, and a bison, elk, bighorn sheep, moose, bear, pronghorn, wild horse, mountain lion, bobcat, or a prairie dog. THIS is where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play. The course will take racers over majestic mountains, through authentic ghost towns, down into dramatic canyons, and along alpine rivers. From the climbing section, participants can take in the view for miles and miles, but teams also may explore a cave where they can’t see past their nose. Race through history on the old wagon roads used for the Oregon Trail, the Pony Express, and the Gold Rush. Trek and ride through areas where vegetation thins out into valleys with varieties of sage and high-elevation alpine woods. You’ll also travel up historic mountain passes topping out at over 10,000’ crossing the Continental Divide. After tackling “the big plains” teams will cross the finish line in Casper, WY.
