Racers come from all over to compete both competivitely and recreationally in what has become a much-anticipated event. The race begins at Riverside park in downtown Whitefish, Montana and winds its way through backstreets up and down the river, into the Lake, along the bike path and over some gnarly single track. Between the start and finish line, racers will have biked, paddled and run just over 50 miles of beautiful Montana terrain. Racers may enter as individuals, partners and teams (up to 7 members). Please make sure you understand our Disclaimers and Policy's before you register for this event [found on “The Race” page]. There will be NO exceptions.
