Event Format

Catch Me if You Can! is a winter race series organized by the Yellowstone Rim Runners. The series uses a staggered start format: runners start individually based on their predicted finishing time, with the fastest runner starting last. This creates a competitive dynamic where faster runners attempt to overtake others before the finish line.

Distances

The series consists of four individual races, each on a separate date:

  • The Chill 4K in December
  • The Flurry 5K in January
  • The Blizzard 8K in February
  • The Thaw 10K in April

All events are located in or around Billings, Montana.

Additional Information

The series is free for Yellowstone Rim Runners members. Non-members can join the club when registering. A post-race gathering includes hot beverages.

A points system awards points based on finishing position in each race, with participation, volunteering, or running a first race also earning points. The top five overall series winners receive cash prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
