We are currently once again working towards obtaining all necessary permits for 2024. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Our aid stations will again be "hands-off" and many food choices will still be pre-packaged.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">We will still have our post-race party at the finish line!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">As always, thank you for choosing our local, home-grown race. This race is 100% volunteer and is a true labor of love. Having you join us means a lot.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Stay healthy and keep training!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Jason</span></div></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Welcome to the 2024 Badger Mountain Challenge, one of Southeastern Washington's only ultramarathons! </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The next Badger Mountain Challenge will be held on March 22-23, 2024.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Located in Richland, Washington, Badger Mountain is our favorite local mountain and it offers expansive views of the beautiful Columbia Basin. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Property development continues to reduce our natural spaces close to town, so the Badger Mountain Preserve was established in 2005 to ensure that this community has open spaces and magnificent views for outdoor recreation. The <u><b>13th</b></u> annual BMC focuses on these few remaining open spaces that are close to our urban centers while we still have access to them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The BMC is once again hosted by the <a href="http://www.nomads.run/" target="_blank">Nomad Trail Runners of Eastern Washington</a>.</span><br />
