Beartooth Run Cody, WY   Jul 11, 2026

If you thought the drive was scenic…. the annual Beartooth Run is back on top as the highest 5K/10K road race in the US (sorry all you Half-ers, Pikes Peak ascent goes higher)! Enjoy a breathtaking drive up the Beartooth Pass before the race course takes your breath away! Each race starts at 10,500 and tops out at 11,000ft. The only thing that will make you forget you’re running uphill at high elevation are the views of wild flowers, high mountain plateaus, glaciers, and maybe mountain goat or two!

The course is all pavement on a road that is open to traffic. No dogs, strollers or headphones allowed on course.

5K
The Classic. Good Views, great course and only ONE hill! The 5k welcomes speedy runners looking to test their lungs at 10,500ft, the casual runner looking to tick off an iconic race off their list, walkers who want to take in the views and kids who want a cool story to share once school starts back up!

10K
A double-out-and-back with views of the East and West summits on the Beartooth Pass. First run east to the Beartooth Basin Summer Ski Area then turn around and head to the true summit, just shy of 11,000ft! Out of safety and respect for volunteers, walkers are not allowed on this course (you can walk parts, but if you plan on only walking, please sign up for the 5k).

Half Marathon
For those that just can’t get enough of the views, there’s a Half Marathon distance! Starting and finishing at the same time and location as the 5k/10k this Half Marathon course is an extension of the 10k course in each direction. This double-out-and-back race will give you new views and double the elevation gain of the 10k!
