35th Annual LOTOJA
September 9, 2017
35th edition of the steady 210-mile interstate climb bike race from Logan, Utah, to Jackson, Wyoming. A premier, although technically amateur, race you will want to do a bit of training for as the course tests your stamina and endurance. A multitude of race categories to choose from whether you are looking to ‘just’ cross the finish line or snag a podium placement. If you are looking for a top spot, just remember that race records hover around 8 hours and 45 minutes!

Annual Old Bill’s Fun Run for Charities
September 9, 2017
Entry: Racer Registration is free if you register before the day of the event.
Run, walk, or donate in this year’s 20th annual community event. Hit the streets of Jackson for a 2K or 5K walk/jog or enter into the competitive class for a 5k or 10k run.
Twenty years ago, an anonymous, philanthropic couple, fondly known as Mr. and Mrs. Old Bill, envisioned a collaborative event that would support all local nonprofits and provide both competition and entertainment. For the first time, organizations came together in an efficient, unified fundraiser that raised awareness of community needs. Over the last two decades, more than $133 million has been raised for local organizations, and it has inspired similar events around the country.
