Event summary

Join us for the exciting REVENANT event on Saturday, August 12th, 2023, in beautiful Billings, Yellowstone! This unique race encourages participants to walk, run, or cycle as far as they can, all while supporting veterans and their families through Warrior Transition Outdoors. With no finish line in sight, just a start line and your personal motivation, you’ll have the freedom to challenge yourself and enjoy the stunning landscapes along the way.

Choose from three exhilarating courses: a 30-mile loop exclusively for walkers and runners, a 100-mile course for cyclists, and an optional 40-mile cut-off. Set against the backdrop of Montana's breathtaking terrain, including the sacred Pryor Mountains and the majestic Beartooth Range, this event promises not just a race, but an adventure through an ancient coastline that is over 70 million years old. The starting point will be at Beartooth Harley Davidson, and there will be support stations throughout the course to keep you energized. Don’t miss the Friday night Pre-Party and packet pick-up at Carters Brewing Company! Get ready to embrace the challenge and make a difference for our veterans!

Organiser's description

WALK, RUN, CYCLE - HOW FAR CAN YOU GO?

We are changing the REVENANT race. We are on mission to support Veterans and their families. The race is now free to join, and there is no finish line just like for Veterans and their families after they leave service. There is only a start line and your own personal motivation to go as far as you can go. You can also join us VIRTUALLY.

REVENANT supports Veterans through Warrior Transition Outdoors. WTO takes a holistic approach to help Veterans and their families transition from military to civilian life through lifelong advocacy and outdoor adventures.

More than 200,000 Veterans transition every single year. The government and nonprofits take an institutional, programmatic approach to what is a very personal challenge. WTO creates a tailored transition plan for every Veteran and their family and provides lifelong support for that plan.

Once they are settled, WTO takes each Veteran on a world-class outdoor adventure to connect with nature, discover a new passion, and learn who they are.

ON RACE DAY

We have set three courses to choose from on the day of the race. Course one is a 30-mile loop for walkers and runners only. The second course is a 100 mile course with an optional 40 mile cut off for cyclists. Both routes are mixed pavement and gravel, with the majority (depending on distance) being gravel.

We thought that a walk, run, or ride through the 70 million-year-old remains of the Great Western Interior Seaway coastline, an ancient seaway that has formed what is now this part of Montana where the snow capped mountains give way to the vast American plains, would be the perfect place to meet your personal challenge limits. Race through a magnificent and ancient landscape that offers amazing terrain and stunning views of the sacred Pryor Mountains and the majestic Beartooth Range.

Starting location will be at Beartooth Harley Davidson at 6900 S Frontage Rd., Billings, MT 59101. Support stations will be throughout the course.

There will be a Friday night Pre-Party and packet pick-up starting at 4:00 pm and going until 9:00 PM located at Carters Brewing Company 2526 Montana Ave. Billings MT.
