Red Lodge Mountain, Red Lodge MT
Sunday, August 16th, 2026
This off-road marathon will be held at Red Lodge Mountain Resort. The Nitty Gritty is starting to earn quite the reputation. And that is, one nitty, gritty marathon with LOTS of climbing all on dirt roads and single track trails.
With a late August date, your summer of running and racing will be what prepares you for this “battle royal” event. Form a six, three or two runner relay team to tackle the marathon, or if you have the grit, try the solo hot lap, half, or full marathon!
Bring your bear spray, camp chair, and good attitude. So lay the peer pressure on your friends, because it's time to get down to The Nitty Gritty!
(Please arrive 45 minutes before your start time for registration and a pre-race meeting)
