RUT RUNTS RUN

The Rut Runt Run is a 1K loop in the Big Sky Base Area and is open to Rut Runts of all ages and abilities. We’ll be sure to throw a few hay bails along the course for added obstacles on race day. It wouldn’t be Rut-approved without a little extra challenge right?  All Runts will receive a Runt Race Bib as well as a fun finishers award upon completion of the route.  Runt parents, you are welcome to participate with your Runt!

The Runt Run is free, but you must register to sign our waiver. Also, if you are interested in purchasing a Rut Runt t-shirt, you can do so while registering until August 1st.

Wave Starts

We had quite a few skinned knees in 2025, so we’re introducing wave starts for the Runt Run in 2026 to help keep bigger kids from running over the younger ones.

We’ll start with the oldest runners and work our way down by age:

• Wave 1 – Ages 8+

• Wave 2 – Ages 6-7

• Wave 3 – Ages 4-5

• Wave 4 – Ages 3 and under
