The Meeteetse Recreation District planned a mountain race last year in the Timber Creek area. This years race is set for Labor Day Weekend, Saturday, September 4, 2010. There has been considerable excitement about this event and the location the last six years. The Meeteetse Absaroka Challenge has been chosen to be part of the Trophy Series sponsored by Trail Runners Magazine. This is a must attend event.  There is races for all abilities, so be part of something special.

The 5k, 10k race will run up the Timber Creek jeep trail which will be set up so the whole family will be able to participate. The 15k mountain run will continue up and around the mountain through some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in all the Rocky Mountains. It concludes with a descent down a 1000' mountain face. According to local mountain runner Fred Thomas and participants from past races, it is one of the most RADICAL FINISHES around with the makings of a classic!

"As Exciting As You Want It To Be!"

 
"My fourth organized trail run of 2002.  I participated in the Bighorn 50K, the Elkhorn 50K and the RimRunners' 26  Mile fun run from East Rosebud Lake to Cooke City, MT and now the WILDEST of all, The Meeteetse 15K Trail."
- Bill Johnston, Billings, MT

There is good spectator viewing areas of the mountain face and some for the rest of the race as well. Bring binoculars or spotting scope and a lawn chair.
