Our kick-off event of the series, Priest Lake Marathon (all distances) has been rescheduled for September 26, 2020. This affects the Short Cut and the Grand Cut. From Ken, our RD:

Based on the rapidly changing conditions of the COVID-19 Virus, with deep regret we feel we must postpone the Priest Lake Marathon as we value the safety of our participants, their families, and community. This race is rescheduled to September 26, 2020. If you are a current registered participant, please check YOUR EMAIL FOR DETAILS. Again, ALL OTHER PRIEST LAKE RACES REMAIN SCHEDULED ON POSTED DATES. Thank you for your support and patience, We look forward to better days ahead with you as we work through this crisis together. RD Ken

Hey GRIT runners. Our RDs issued this statement today, pertaining to Race the Wolf specifically. But there's a ton of uncertainty everywhere right now, so I'm cross-posting so hopefully everyone catches it. Each race in the series will be evaluated as race day nears.

At present, we're still proceeding as planned. We'll provide an update on March 31st. Until then, keep up the solo running, stay healthy and wash your hands - Rebekah

Public Information Statement 03_16_2020
COVID-19 and Race the Wolf

Race organizers of Race the Wolf are continuing to monitor COVID-19 conditions. Our participants and their families are our most important consideration. As of this date March 16, 2020, the race remains scheduled for the weekend of June 26, 27, 28. Race organizers will continue to evaluate conditions and make the most prudent decisions as possible.
With almost three months until race day, we feel the best plan of action is to allow time to provide us with more indications of the actual conditions on race day. We will provide a follow up and update on March 31st.
As a small event operated in a mountain wilderness area, we have some flexibility and control of several aspects of the race to provide for public and participant safety. At this time race operation plans remain in place, but may be modified if needed. POSSIBLE modifications that are being considered at this time are as follows:
- Placing an entry cap on the race
- Providing course and starting procedures to disburse runners on the course individually
- Changes to aid station food and water using only manufacturer sealed containers
- Using check in procedures that eliminate lines and gathering of athletes
- Additional modifications as needed to ensure participant safety based on best practices
We will continue to monitor the direction and advice of our local health authority Panhandle Health, and any CDC guidelines.
We appreciate your patience as we are evaluating these changing conditions and will provide updated information on March 31st, and continually until race day.

Thank you,
Mike and Ken, RDs

The GRIT Long Cut: it's a sampler of longer races on challenging courses in the Selkirk and Cabinet mountains. You'll cover more remote terrain with longer climbs, bigger views and probably a bit of Type 2 fun. It's the "blue run" of The GRIT series.
Don't miss out! Registration is open for all events. Get out there and !

The GRIT Short Cut: shorter distances and races with ample aid.

The Short Cut races take you over forest roads and moderate trails with just enough rugged climbing to spice it up. Perfect whether you're new to the trails or looking to PR. We consider it the green run of the series. Hit up our website for the deets on The GRIT's three "cuts" and !
