“Bitterroot Runoff is a great way to get the trail running season started. The course is fast yet challenging, and on a good year, you might even get to see a few elk out there.”

“Another top-notch Runner’s Edge event! I ran the 9.7-mile course and it was a great combination of tough climbs and fun descents. From the supportive volunteers to the generous after race brunch, every detail was thought of. I am looking forward to running this race again.”
