15K follows red pin flagging 🟥

SUNDAY July 11, 2027

  • The Wild 15K course adds up to about 8.7 miles and features a fun downhill on the Wildflower trail. Start under the big red Aerial Tram, run over the bridge and head left to make your way up the Tram Line trail. Run the Lower Face loop to connect to the Yurt trail and Hoback trail, where you’ll hit your first aid station. Keep going to make your way across the mountain towards the bike park trails. Run the Seven Bridges trail to Saratoga and Solitude trails, climbing the hill to reach the top of the Sweetwater Gondola — your second and final aid station (Casper). If you’ve made it this far before 9:45 AM, the race is all yours. Fuel up, take in the views, and then head down the winding Wildflower trail to the finish line at the Aerial Tram. Relax, cool down on the grass area, grab a bite at Tram Dock, and if you still have some fuel in the tank, ride the gondola up the mountain to cheer on the 50K runners.

    The majority of elevation gain is in the first three quarters of the race. 15K runners will gain ~1,300 FT. over the first 6.5 miles and descend ~1,100 ft. in the last 2 miles. Pro tip: conserve your energy in the beginning and hike the uphills as needed.

    We reserve the right to make course changes that place your safety first. This is a race in the mountains, where there is increased exposure to variable weather patterns that can change at any time. Runners should be prepared for a wide range of weather patterns and know that they may be directed off course if there is a severe weather threat.

    DROP / DNF POLICY

    • If you must drop out of the race for any reason, please do your best to drop at an aid station unless in the event of an emergency. Upon arriving to that aid station, notify a volunteer. You will be transported back down the mountain either via Gondola ride, ATV ride, or truck ride.

    • If you must drop and you are unable to get to the nearest aid station, call Ski Patrol at (307) 690 - 6210.

    REFUNDS, DEFERRALS, DISTANCE TRANSFERS

    There are no refunds, deferrals, credits or waitlists for any TMR event.
