Devil's Backbone 50 & 25 Miler

Just got back from the Devil's Backbone race this weekend in the Gallatin Mountains. It was a gorgeous weekend with absolutely perfect weather. Warm at the trailhead and nice and cool up top.

Congrats to all the racers who endured this punishing race and thanks to race directors Tom and Liz for all the hard work pulling this year's race together! This is truly a grassroots event of monumental proportions (50 miles to be exact).

Northern Lights is proud to be a sponsor of this and other great events in Bozeman. Racers: if you were (un)lucky enough for me to capture you on film, please click over to our flikr page

and see a sampling of the photos I got from the race. If you would like a full-resolution photo, please email me at matt@northernlightstrading.com

Old Gabe 25/50K

The Old Gabe brought out over 90 racers this weekend for the 25 and 50K. Conditions were ideal for this grueling race, with a cool morning and a warm, dry finish. Although the runners weren't exactly dry, with plenty of stream crossings, mud and lingering snow at higher elevations. Full race results can be found here. Congratulations to everyone who finished or even attempted the most difficult 50k in the country!
