Goat Grind
 
What is a Goat Grind?

You're not alone in not knowing - it's a Montana thing!  A Goat Grind is an endurance run with steep hills, a creek crossing and some technical single track. 

Sounds like quite the challenge! But, totally worth it - you get a pancake breakfast at the end of the race.  Who doesn't love a well-earned pancake!?

For more information on the race and registration, click here.
This race is part of a series, but you can register for an individual race.
