Old Gabe - Bozeman, MT
Old Gabe is an organized trail race hosted by Big Sky Wind Drinkers near Bozeman, Montana. The event offers the following distances:
- 50K (closer to 34 miles)
- 30K (closer to 20 miles)
The course begins and finishes at the Middle Cottonwood Trailhead and follows marked trails through Truman Gulch and Sypes Canyon. Runners should expect substantial climbing on the 50K, with a total ascent of approximately 11,500'. Aid on course is minimal; water, gels, electrolyte and snack items will be available at trailheads and a few saddle stations, and runners are expected to be largely self-supporting.
Drop bags are encouraged and will be delivered to the Truman and Sypes trailheads on race morning and returned to Middle Cottonwood after the event. The field is capped at 130 registrations and refunds are not issued. All finishers receive an OG hat and the first place male and female 50K runners receive a special award.
The event acknowledges support from the Custer Gallatin National Forest. Participants and spectators are asked to stay on marked trails, avoid cutting switchbacks, pack out litter, help other runners as needed, and keep the forest service road passable when parking. Registration opens January 1, 2027. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
