Pronghorn Pursuit Trail Run - Dillon, Montana - Running

The Pronghorn Pursuit Trail Run is a Running race in Dillon, Montana consisting of a 15K Trail Run and 5K Trail Run.

The Pronghorn Pursuit Trail Run is a fundraiser organized by Beaverhead Trails Coalition (BTC) and the Beaverhead County High School Cross Country Team (BCHS). Benefits and donations will be split between these two organizations.

Trail runners of all levels are invited to Dillon in early August to take part in the Pronghorn Pursuit. Much of our community will be involved in hosting this event, and are eager for you to spend time with us and discover all that the Dillon area has to offer. Dillon is a welcoming and authentically Western town, located in a scenic river valley enclosed by sweeping mountain ranges. Our community supports many diverse recreation activities, including world-class fly fishing. We're excited to have runners discover our trails, made possible through the hard work of the members of the Beaverhead Trails Coalition. The Pronghorn Pursuit, exclusively off pavement, meanders through the gorgeous sagebrush hills of the High Trails System, with spectacular views of the Beaverhead River Valley below. The 15k course is challenging and will put your summer fitness to the test with 90% singletrack and 2400' of climbing. The course is a great mix of steep climbs and technical descents, interspersed with sections of fast, flowing singletrack. The 5K course offers a similar technical mix, and the same great views, but at a more manageable scale for many runners. You can still expect to be challenged by this course, with some steeper sections climbing over 500', but can look forward to the last kilometer being all downhill and smiles.
