Stewardship requirement
As our entry page notes, all runners must meet our trail stewardship requirement before race day:
Complete eight hours of trail or habitat restoration work: Entrants must complete eight hours of trail work.
Donate $80 ($10/hr): In lieu of restoration work, entrants may donate $80 to our trail stewardship partner, Friends of the Bridger-Teton. Every penny will support the great work they do in conjunction with the Bridger-Teton National Forest. If you choose this option, you must email us your receipt/donation confirmation.
Please donate directly to FBT
To ensure that every penny goes to FBT, we ask runners to donate directly to FBT on their website and forward us a copy of their confirmation email.
Volunteering at a race does not count as trail work
We get this question a lot. The non-negotiable answer is, “No, volunteering at a race — unless you’re working on trail — does not satisfy our trail stewardship requirement.”
Timeline
Runners must complete their trail stewardship between January 1 and one week before race day.
Late submissions
If a runner has not met our stewardship requirement before race day, we will assume they’re planning to donate to Friends of Bridger-Teton as soon as they’re back home. We will not post your results until you’ve met our requirement because, until then, you are not an official finisher.
Form submission
We’re moving away from paper forms. Starting in 2023, runners must complete the form below to tell us about their trail stewardship project.
