Bridger Ridge Run

Description:

The Ed Anacker Bridger Ridge Run is one of the most technical trail runs in the United States.

In 2012, Runner’s World Magazine named the Ridge Run one of its top 31 trail races in the country, giving it the title of “Most Raw Exposure.” In 2013, Outside Online named the Ridge Run one of its Top 10 Bucket List trail runs in the WORLD.

The Ridge Run is 19.90 miles of brutal climbing and descending, complete with unstable footing, unpredictable weather, and, of course, miles of exposure along the ridge line of the Bridger Mountain range.

Essentially the entire route involves unstable footing, challenging ascents, brutal descents, and unpredictable weather along an exposed ridge.  Experience with mountain running is important.

No part of the route can be accessed by a road.  All supplies, including water, are hauled to Aid Stations through human volunteering.  Aid Stations will carefully track each participant’s progress, and will have limited medical teams, supplies, and snacks.  Except for water, we expect each participant to carry what they think they’ll need.

• Note: the race is “cupless” (ie, Aid Stations will not have cups). We expect each participant to carry a water vessel, which can be filled at each Aid Station.
