Run. Fat Bike. Ski. March 8 - 10, 2023

It is still very much winter up here in March. The temperatures can be sub zero, the wind can be relentless, and snowfall can be measured in feet. If you want a fast manicured course with aid stations every few miles this isn’t your race. If you want a true challenge in magical untamed wilderness, join us. You will be glad you did.

• Our entry-level race, the Drift 13, offers a beautiful 13-mile course along the Upper Green River.  This out-and-back course provides novice racers with the perfect opportunity to test their abilities and develop their skills on a challenging but manageable course. The Drift 13 starts Sunday March 10th at 9 am. Racers must be off the course by 5 pm.

• The original Drift race.  Get ready to embark on a historic journey along the Green River along the path of the country’s oldest running cattle drive. The race starts with a fast and flat stretch before taking you into the mountains with 2,500 feet of heart-pounding climbs and chilly descents. As it’s still winter here in March, it’s essential to come prepared for any weather conditions that may arise. The stunning scenery and challenging course will push you to your limits.

• 103 miles of winter wonderland, with over 9,000 ft elevation loss/gain. Self-sufficiency is key, as there are no drop bags, pacers, or cell service along the way. Instead, you’ll navigate your way through varied conditions and temperatures, with check points separated by upwards of 25 miles of challenging terrain.
