About

Get ready to conquer the wild at the Floral Park Mountain Club's very first Blacktail Balderdash—an off-trail footrace like no other, set for August 8, 2026. Brace yourself for a thrilling scramble through Montana's majestic mountains, where getting lost is part of the adventure!

Challenging? Absolutely. But it’s your raw grit against the rugged beauty of the Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. With no set paths between checkpoints, your journey through dense forests, wildflowers and awe-inspiring views of Glacier National Park is purely your own creation.

Whether you choose the action-packed 5-mile climb, the disorienting 10-mile trek, or the ultimate 20-mile test of endurance, surprises await at every turn. Courses are kept secret until the eve of the race, so expect the unexpected. Drop by for the post-race celebration with food, drinks, and awards. Come to test your limits, discover the untouched wilderness, and experience the heart of Montana's outdoor spirit!
