Summer 2022 Fun Run schedule

/in , , , /by
Spring is just around the corner, and it’s time to ready yourselves for our 2022 summer fun run season!
This year, we kick off the season at The Mountain Project on April 27th, where we’ll have a run through Story Mill Park, and listen to informative and inspirational talks from runners, the Mountain Project staff, and local public land managers, followed by a bit of socialization,  Come start the season off right with a fun evening!
We are also trying out some new running locations this year – including making a return trip to Manhattan for an early-season run, heading up to some new trailheads in Bridger Canyon, and conducting a joint event with the Bozeman Running Company during their June Brew Pub Run at Bozeman Brewing.
Here is the planned schedule (bear in mind that all locations are tentative while we coordinate these dates with the necessary local land managers!):

BSWD Fun Run – Lindley Park

/in , /by

Hi all,

THIS WEEK’S FUN RUN STARTS AT 6:00 PM and will be at Lindley Park.  We will start at the Pavilion. We’ll have a 1, 3, and 5 mile course.  Only two more runs then our annual meeting!  We’ve got some great participation awards this year that we’ll give out at the annual meeting and you need to run 10 times and time 2 to qualify.    

Thanks to James Childre our newsletter editor and Tomas Dumbrovsky for getting our newsletter out.  To read it on line go to:

We only have about 5 spots left in the John Colter Run and I expect it to fill up tonight!  These rainy days really get the folks on their computers signing up for our runs!  We have had 41 people sign up in the last week! It’s going to be a great run!
And it looks like it’s going to be a great winter as well!  I did a run yesterday from Bridger Bowl to the M and found this Wooly Bear Caterpillar between the north and south summit of Saddle Peak. There was an eight year study done in 1948 by Dr. C. H. Curan of the American Museum of Natural History to determine a correlation to the length of brown band to the coming winter.

 He studied thousands of worms and concluded that the smaller the band, the harsher the winter.  Of course, consider this worm was at an elevation of over 9000 feet so his perspective could be a bit skewed.  Even so, I’m hoping for lots of snow.
See you Wednesday at Lindley Park at 6:00 PM!

BSWD Fun Run

Hi all,

Looks like we’re in for a nice cool week and it feels like a touch of fall in the air now.  Some snow on those fires and we’ll be set.  This week’s fun run is a pot luck at Jackie’s house.  We’ll meet Wednesday at 6:30 pm for the run with a 1, 3, and 5 mile option.  To get to Jackie’s from downtown take Wilson south.  Follow Wilson through the light at Kagy as it becomes S. 3rd.  Turn left on Hill Street, then right on Highland Court, and it’s right there.  Bring a dish to share!  

The awesome cool air brings to mind the John Colter run to be held September 17.  The past few weeks we’ve been out working on the trail.  We cut the bushes on the trail near the river crossings, flag the course, build rock cairns, and re-furbish the existing cairns and signs.  We try to mark it with interesting and natural materials, along with a few beer bottles marked with survey flagging.  We still have some open spots, so if you haven’t signed up yet, we have a great run, two river crossings, bbq, live music and great prizes.  

I took this photo yesterday while working on the John Colter trail.  A black cat kept us company for several miles.  It seemed like he appreciated our rock cairns, but maybe he was just hungry.

 

See you on Wednesday!    

Daryl
