Race Description
The Thunderbolt Creek 12k & 30k are very scenic out-and-back courses on the Thunderbolt Creek & Continental Divide Trail west of Boulder and Basin, Montana in the Helena-Deer Lodge National Forest. The trail is mostly non-technical although 30k runners will encounter lots of loose rocks on the climb to the old lookout on Thunderbolt Mountain with approximately 3,000 feet of climbing overall. If you love trail running, this is a must for your summer calendar!
Limited to 100 runners! Both distances start at 8:00 AM.
Pricing: $85 (30k), $65 (12k)
To be guaranteed a race shirt, sign up NO LATER THAN JUNE 10!
