Choose Your Race

Half Marathon: Runners will start in Pinedale and make their way toward Fremont Lake on an out-and-back course. The route follows mostly paved roads and bike paths before turning around at the Fremont Lake Campground.

10K: The 10K begins at the Fremont Lake Overlook north of Pinedale. Runners will start with a downhill descent before the course gradually levels out on the way back into town.

5K: The 5K starts at Rendezvous Pointe, travels through town and follows the bike path toward Willow Lake Road. Runners will loop through the Trails End neighborhood before returning to Rendezvous Pointe.

1-Mile Fun Run: This free event for all ages takes place on town streets and starts and finishes at Rendezvous Pointe.

Runners coming from outside the area should also be prepared for the elevation. Pinedale sits at approximately 7,185 feet, making the Race to Raise a true high-altitude event.

Run for a Local Cause

The Race to Raise is about more than crossing the finish line.

Foundation 23 works to strengthen Sublette County by supporting the nonprofits that serve the community. The organization’s 2026 Race to Raise fundraising campaign runs from July 23 through September 26, with donations to participating nonprofits matched proportionally through Foundation 23’s matching funds pool.

For race participants, $5 from every registration will go directly to a Sublette County nonprofit of their choice.

Local nonprofits will also be at Rendezvous Pointe throughout race day, giving participants and community members an opportunity to learn more about the work they do throughout Sublette County.
