About the Event

Welcome to the PioneerCrossingsRelay (PCR) race in beautiful Montana. A 175-mile long-running relay race consisting of 36 legs that takes on 10,000 feet of elevation gain. The PCR follows the classic 12-person relay model where each runner takes on 3 legs. Standard team runners are split up into two groups of 6 runners, van 1 and van 2. While runners 1 through 6 in van 1 run through their respective legs, runners 7 through 12 in van 2 get a break and travel to their transition station where runner 6 of van 1 hands over the baton to runner 7 of van 2. This cycle gets repeated till all 36 legs are completed, typically taking 24 to 32 hours. For runners wanting to take it up another notch, there will be the possibility to sign up as an ultra team, completing the whole course with a team of just 6 runners, or to sign up as a wild card team for teams with 3 to 10 runners. In this thrilling adventure, runners will conquer the picturesque landscapes of this stunning state. From breathtaking mountains to big sky vistas and pristine forests, Montana offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable relay race experience. With a start in Twin Bridges and a finish in Virginia City the PCR invites you to follow in the footsteps of past explorers, whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, this event promises to test your limits, foster teamwork, and create memories that will last a lifetime. So lace up those running shoes, gather your teammates, and get ready to embrace the challenge and beauty of this remarkable race in the heart of Montana!
