2026 Pierre's Hole
july 31 - August 1, 2026!
Registration Opens January 1st!
Pierre’s Hole, a site once renown during the fur trade boom in the Northern Rockies, has always been a test of endurance, fortitude, and strength. For nearly two decades, the Pierre’s Hole 50/100 has provided an incredible experience to everyone who has raced in this epic journey. The racecourse views are breathtaking, the singletrack is better than ever, and you will be tested by the rugged terrain that makes riding on the west side of the Teton Range so spectacular. The entire race is held at Grand Targhee Resort, where ample lodging and amenities await racers and their families.
In addition to our classic 50K and 100K courses, this year we're introducing the Friday Night "1832 Short-Track" Race: 1832 seconds (30.5 minutes) plus 1 lap of our 1-mile, base area course. Numerous classes on the Saturday Pierre's Hole 50k and 100k distances are available. Sweet swag bag for all participants and cash prize for 50K and 100K podium finishers. Celebrate with live music at the Trap after you cross the finish line on Saturday from 1:00-3:00pm.
