CDT-14K Race |
Wulfman's CDT-14K Saturday, 23 June 2012
Regular registration for this race reached its ceiling number of 240 entrants on Saturday, 24 March -- over a month earlier than last year. There are, however, still ways that one can gain access to run this race. There are still some "Golden VIP" charity registration slots available here for $100 each, and the proceeds from those fees (along with all other race proceeds) will directly benefit trails in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. The other way to obtain a race entry slot is to hover online at the registration page as the two cancellation deadlines (on 7 & 18 June) approach and then hope to get lucky and claim one of those regular registration slots if/when they re-open. Registration ultimately and tightly closes at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, 19 June.
Every continent except Antarctica has a continental divide. In North America the divide runs from northwestern Canada along the crest of the Rocky Mountains to Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental, and it is generally the line that divides the flow of water between the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. In 1968 a federal plan for the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT) was mandated, and today, construction of the CDT is estimated to be 70% complete. The 14 Butte-iful kilometers along the CDT between Montana's Homestake and Pipestone passes are completed, and that section offers scenic vistas with majestic rock formations. This race along that route celebrates the trail and the memory of one of its greatest local proponents -- the late John "the Wulfman" Wulf, who was the God Father of Butte's Piss & Moan Runners. The race is run on Summer Solstice Saturday, the anniversary of the Wulfman's last group run. Race proceeds are used to help build and improve trails in southwest Montana. We Piss & Moan Runners promise our best in creating a race experience that is challenging, memorable and fun for all ages and abilities!!
