The Wind Drinker: December Club Announcements

Although it may not feel like it, winter running is here! We had a great Thanksgiving morning at Huffing for Stuffing! Big Sky Wind Drinkers helped with this year’s Smoke the Turkey awards. The annual event and Bozeman tradition helps raise money for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.

Upcoming Winter Fun Runs

Jingle Bell Jog

Saturday, Dec. 18 at 9 a.m.

This year we encourage runners to help us live up to the name of this fun run. Let’s make a cheery racket! Bring your bells: jingle bells, cow bells, school bells, hand bells, bicycle bells, service bells, crotal bells, chimes… anything that rings in good cheer! Let’s see how many smiles we can create out there!

The run will start and finish at the Gallatin Valley Land Trust patio on 212 South Wallace near Olive Street. Thanks, GVLT! The routes will predominantly follow nearby trails from there. Bathrooms will be available, if needed, for anyone willing to mask up. Feel free to bring cookies if you like but definitely bring a bell!

We need volunteers!

Volunteers are critical for us continuing winter fun runs. Our race directors are working hard to keep them going but would sometimes like to run themselves or have a helping hand with timing participants. Sign up here: https://winddrinkers.org/trailhead/fun_runs/volunteers/?sheet_id=40

New Year’s Resolution Run: a Fat Ass 50K

Saturday, Jan 1 at 9 a.m.

Out Fat Ass 50K is Jan. 1 at Headwaters State Park, just in time to kickstart those New Years Resolutions. Come by at 9 a.m. and do as many 5 K loops as you want!

Don’t want to run? We need volunteers!

We are in need of a route marker as well as a couple people from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to help pass out hot cocoa and tally incoming runners. Contact Kathryn at kathryn.hohmann@gmail.com to sign up for a shift!
