Lace-up for an unparalleled high-altitude adventure at the 56th Annual Beartooth Run on Saturday, July 11, 2026, in the stunning wilderness near Cody, Wyoming. This iconic event offers distances for every ambition: a challenging Half Marathon (13.1M), a demanding 10K (6.2M), and a scenic 5K (3.1M), welcoming runners of all ages and abilities to experience one of the highest road races in the United States.

Prepare for breathtaking views as the course begins at an elevation of 10,500 feet and climbs to a peak of 11,000 feet, showcasing the legendary Beartooth Pass. Runners will navigate an all-pavement, out-and-back route, surrounded by vibrant wildflowers, majestic glaciers, high mountain plateaus, clear alpine lakes, and the prominent Bear's Tooth, with a chance to spot mountain goats. While the 5K offers "good views" and "only one hill," perfect for walkers, the 10K and Half Marathon routes present a more strenuous, double-out-and-back challenge with significant elevation gain, offering panoramic vistas of the East and West summits. Typical race day conditions in July offer highs around 86°F and lows around 58°F, with a minimal 1% chance of precipitation, providing generally favorable, albeit high-elevation, running weather.

The Beartooth Run is renowned not only for its elevation but also for its spectacular scenery, often described as "the most beautiful roadway in America." This well-supported event promises an unforgettable experience amidst nature's grandeur. While dogs and strollers are not permitted on the course for safety, dedicated spectator areas at the start/finish line allow loved ones to cheer on participants. The start and finish area is located at the Gardner Lake Headwall/Beartooth Loop Parking Lot on US 212.
