Pronghorn Pursuit Trail Run
Pronghorn Pursuit is an annual off-pavement trail running event held on the Beaverhead Trails Coalition High Trails near Dillon, Montana, at 2700 10 Mile Road. The 2027 edition is the sixth annual running of the event; the race start was moved to a new West Trailhead in 2026.
The event offers multiple race options:
- 15K trail run
- 5K trail run
- Kid's 5K (ages 10 and under)
- Fun Run/Walk 1 mile (fundraiser)
The courses run through sagebrush hills with views of the Beaverhead River Valley. The 15K course is about 90% single-track with approximately 2400 feet of climbing and a mix of steep climbs and technical descents plus sections of faster single-track. The 5K course shares technical features on a smaller scale, with some climbs over 500 feet and a final kilometer that is all downhill. The kid’s 5K is designated for runners aged 10 and under.
The 1-mile Fun Run/Walk serves as a fundraiser for the Early Childhood Coalition of Beaverhead County and the Beaverhead Trails Coalition and includes kids and family activities at the trailhead and hidden Chamber Treasures along the course. T-shirts are not included with preregistration but are available as an add-on; shirts paid for before May 20 are available for pickup at the race, while later purchases can be picked up at Big Tyme in Dillon or shipped. Food and awards follow the races at the trailhead. Runners are admitted free; spectators pay $5.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
