Fun Run – Tour de Critters

/in /by
The Tour de Critters is one of the most popular Wind Drinker funs runs, year after year!  Run on land owned by Franklin Coles, a former BSWD President, the courses are tough, hilly trail runs high above the valley floor, with extensive views near Bozeman Pass.  This event was once known as the ‘Tour de Wolves’, as the Howlers Inn bed and breakfast, just down the hill from Franklin’s place, has a few rescue wolves in an enclosure.  When the wolves left temporarily, the ‘Wolves’ part of the run name was changed to ‘Critters’ – but now some wolves are back.  Watch, and listen, for them!
To reach the start, get on I-90 East and drive to the Jackson Creek Road exit.  Take Jackson Creek Road north (passing under the Interstate)   Drive about 3 miles, and turn right onto Bridger Hollow Road (look for the Howlers Inn sign).  Drive past the Inn, up the hill, and turn left at Absaroka Drive.  Run assistants will help direct you to parking.

Fun Run – Middle Cottonwood

/0 Comments/in , /by

A long-time club favorite!  Runs follow trails in the trees along Middle Cottonwood Creek, on the west side of the Bridger Mountains!  Come enjoy running the hills with us!

Middle Cottonwood trailhead is north of Bozeman – take Springhill Road north of the Interstate, and turn right onto Toohey Road.  At the end of Toohey, turn right onto Walker Road, which will bend back left (east) and become Saddle Mountain Road.  Continue on Saddle Mountain (do NOT turn onto Middle Cottonwood Lane – it does not lead to the trailhead!) until it makes a 90-degree bend to the left (north); go north across the creek, then turn right onto the continuation of Saddle Mountain Road, which leads to the trailhead parking.

Please consider carpooling to this event, as the trailhead parking lot is limited.  Carpooling will be from the NE corner of the Fairgrounds parking lot, west of the baseball stadium and across Oak from The Cannery District.  We will plan to leave from the carpool location at 5:30, as it’s a ways out to the start point.
