Nitty Gritty Off Road Race

This off-road marathon will be held at Red Lodge Mountain Resort. In its sixth year running, the Nitty Gritty is starting to earn quite the reputation. This is a nitty, gritty marathon featuring lots of climbing, all on dirt roads and single track trails.

With a late August date, prepare your summer running and racing for this "battle royal" event. Form a team for the marathon relay, or try the solo hot lap, half, or full marathon!

The Nitty Gritty embodies our motto: low key, high elevation. While the terrain is challenging, everything else is laid back, accommodating distances for all abilities. Dogs are welcome on or off leash, and don't miss the beer and snacks after the race!

This race is for those who love trail running. Bring your bear spray, camp chair, and a good attitude.
