The Meeteetse Recreation District has a mountain race every year in the Timber Creek area. This years race is set for Labor Day Weekend, Saturday, September 3, 2011. There has been considerable excitement about this event and the location the last eight 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 is an extreme race and not for the faint of heart. It continues up and around the mountain with a 2000' rise in altitude to around 9700'. Then 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 running legend Fred Thomas and other participants from past races, it is one of the most RADICAL FINISHES around with the makings of a classic!
