Ultimately, the “Dry Fork Project” was tabled and Bighorn Trail Run was born during this process to increase public awareness of the natural beauty, rugged terrain, and unique geology of the Bighorn Mountains and the Dry Fork and Little Bighorn River drainages. Through the commitment and perseverance of a few dedicated outdoor enthusiasts, attention to the potential fate of our mountains became a local concern. We created this ultra-running event to preserve the atmosphere of the Bighorn Mountains once threatened by a West Coast power development strategy called the “Dry Fork Project”. The Bighorn Crew welcomes you with western hospitality and extend our most cordial invitation to a remote rugged test of your endurance. Also, there are designated parking areas for Dryfork, Sally's Footbridge, and JAWS, with a short walk to the station. All overflow traffic will be on one side ONLY of the road into JAWS. Parking at aid stations must not restrict through-traffic, especially at JAWS, where there will be 52-mile buses arriving to drop off runners for their start. Please ENSURE your support people know and understand this rule and DO NOT put extra pressure on our valuable aid station volunteers. Aid Stations will have a volunteer helping orchestrate uniting CREW with runners when they arrive in the aid station. We will have campfire supplies for CREW waiting area at Sally's and JAWS. Please come prepared for freezing temperatures. Crews and pacers must wait in a designated waiting area outside of the aid station boundary. Due to crowd control issues we will be strictly enforcing a 1 (possibly 2 if space allows) person per runner rule inside the aid station boundary at Dryfork, Sally's Footbridge, and JAWS aid stations.
