The BTMR is not one of those “portion of proceeds” gimmick races! Instead All race entry fees (yes, 100%) are donated to area non-profit/volunteer organizations as follows:
33% – El Paso County Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer non-profit organization. They never charge for their services and yet they incur enormous expenses related to the missions they serve on. Some of those missions involve saving runner’s from mountain trails! They also provide race support for several races including the this one and the Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon.
33% – Friends of The Peak is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting, preserving, and restoring Pikes Peak. Specifically FOTP concerns itself with the health of the ecosystems on the Pikes Peak massif and turns that commitment into action. They also build and maintain the trails on and around Pikes Peak—including the Barr Trail!
33% – Barr Camp is approximately 6.5 miles from the trail head in Manitou Springs and is the turn around point for the Barr Trail Mountain Race. Elevation gain is 3,800 feet, and the camp elevation is 10,200 feet (3,109 meters). You can expect a 20 degree temperature difference between the bottom of the trail and Barr Camp. Expect changeable weather any time of the year.
Yes, that’s 100% of your entry fee going to these organizations – Find out how!
