Embark on an unforgettable trail running experience at Wulfman's Continental Divide Trail 14K, set for Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the rugged beauty surrounding Butte, Montana. This acclaimed point-to-point 14-kilometer race guides runners along a picturesque section of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) between Homestake Pass and Pipestone Pass within the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. Expect a single-track course offering scenic vistas and majestic rock formations, often described as challenging yet runnable with good footing and clearly marked paths that provide an immersive experience with "zero civilization" in sight.

Wulfman's CDT 14K stands out for its unique time-trial start format, designed to prevent congestion on the narrower sections of the trail, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable race for all participants. This race is more than just a competition; it's a heartfelt tribute to John "the Wulfman" Wulf, a passionate advocate for local trails and the "Godfather" of Butte's Piss & Moan Runners, held annually near the Summer Solstice to commemorate the anniversary of his last group run. Race proceeds directly benefit trail building and maintenance in southwest Montana, as well as supporting local youth running programs. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 73F and lows around 42F, with only an 8% chance of precipitation.

Runners will find one aid station on the course, equipped with water and basic first aid, though carrying additional personal supplies is recommended. The race starts at 8 a.m., with bussing provided to return runners from the finish at Pipestone Pass back to Homestake Pass for this even-year direction. Beyond the rewarding run, participants can look forward to a vibrant post-race picnic and awards ceremony at Homestake Lodge, known for its unique age group prizes and lively atmosphere that has solidified Wulfman's CDT 14K as a beloved early-season trail race in the Northern Rockies.
