Embark on an unforgettable trail running adventure at Wulfman's CDT-14K Trail Race on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the stunning landscapes surrounding Butte, Montana. This unique 8.7-mile (14K) point-to-point race traverses a beautiful single-track section of the iconic Continental Divide Trail (CDT) between Homestake Pass and Pipestone Pass in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. Runners will be treated to scenic vistas and majestic rock formations along a clearly marked trail that generally offers good footing, promising a challenging yet rewarding experience amidst the grandeur of Montana's rugged Divide.

What sets Wulfman's CDT-14K apart is its heartfelt history and unique race format. Held near the Summer Solstice, this event celebrates the memory of John "the Wulfman" Wulf, the "Godfather of Butte's Piss & Moan Runners," marking the anniversary of his final run with his comrades. To ensure an optimal trail experience and avoid congestion, the race utilizes a time-trial start, with runners beginning every 10 seconds. An aid station on the course provides water and minor first aid, with additional roving first aid support and horseback sweepers to ensure everyone's safety. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 73°F and lows around 42°F, with a low 8% chance of precipitation.

After conquering the CDT, participants can look forward to a vibrant post-race atmosphere, including a complimentary picnic at Homestake Lodge with carnivorous and vegetarian options, as well as free microbrew and other beverages. Beyond the personal achievement, every stride supports a greater cause, as race proceeds are dedicated to building, maintaining, and improving trails in southwest Montana and fostering local youth running programs. Join the Butte's Piss & Moan Runners for an event that promises to be challenging, memorable, and fun for all ages and abilities.
