Do you want an athletic challenge in one of the most beautiful and unique destinations in the world? The Greater Yellowstone Adventure Series has six races this year and will be adding more in the future. Be part of something truly incredible. Push yourself to the edge right next door to Yellowstone National Park, the very first national park in the world.
We got the options for you.
First up is the Water to Whiskey 5K fun run. The race starts right on top of the Madison River and finishes at Willies Distillery in downtown Ennis.
Next is the Madison Duathlon, a bike/run race that starts in Ennis along the banks of the Madison River and finishes in Virginia City, the former territorial capitol of Montana. Two weeks later, the Highest Road Marathon on Planet Earth kicks off with runners from across the nation and usually a few foreign countries. How many marathons have you run where you can see mountain ranges 100 miles away. The very next day run the Second Highest Downhill Road Marathon on Planet Earth. It has a net drop of 3,651 feet and is still almost a mile above sea level. The final leg of the Madison Trifecta is the Madison Triathlon, a Swim, bike, and run race that is an Olympic Distance triand finishes right in front of the Pony Bar. Lastly for something truly extraordinary, be part of and make history rather than read about it and do Montana's only half ironman distance triathlon.
It all starts on June 4 with the 21st Annual Madison River Run and goes until September 4 at the Inaugural Yellowstone Half Ironman. There ain't nothing gonna be the same after doing these events. Check us out.
