Goat Rattler 5/5/25 Update!
Forest Service recommend "Group Run"
Due to recent budget cuts, USFS have just let me know that they don't have the manpower to approve any new permits this year even though they've had this application for 8 months. So they said we can do this as a "group run" as long as it's kept under 75 people. So that's what we're gonna do. All the other permits are active. We won't be doing an aid station at Needles Lodge so there will be longer distances to go between aid stations. The Lewis and Ben Lomond saddle aid stations are also in question. Worst case is that you have to carry a few more calories and liquid between stations. Everything else will function as normal.
Goat Rattler 100 9/12/25
SO YOU WANNA BE A GOAT?
Experience Ogden in the best possible way. . .with a lot of vert and suffering! MWUAHHAAAA!!! But you'll be so distracted by the views and the sweet, sweet singletrack that you won't notice the pain in your calves. . .or was that a rattlesnake bite?
97% singletrack. . .say WHAAAAAT?
Yep. You heard it. When's the last time you ran a 100 miler with that much singletrack? Uh. . never.
Get yo vert on!
Estimated 22,234.91240 feet of vert. I measured it with a ruler. Plenty o' vert for you dudes/dudettes that smuggle cantaloupes in their calves. I wanted to make it 30k+ but too much private land and I got tired of filling out permits.
Requirements
You don't wanna do this as your first ultra. . .although we love a good newb writhing in cramp agony at mile 24.9 while we squirt him down with super soakers full of pickle juice.
You have to have completed a previous 100 miler OR a 50 miler in under 15 hours with 5k of elevation gain within the last 2 years. This requirement must be met by 7/31/25. You can register if you have a race date on the horizon.
Live GPS Tracking
Every runner will have a Garmin In-Reach device on their person. This will be posted real time on our website so crew can track their runner. No more waiting for hours at aid stations seeing when your runner is gonna show. You could hang out at the hotel and drive up to aid station 10 min before runner arrives.
This will cut down on crowding. Tend to your runner and get out of there!
There's lots of spots along the route for the first 17 miles to cheer your runner on as well. Party!!

If your rattle isn't rattling loud enough by 5/31/25, then contact us about withdrawal. We'll issue a full refund by then.
6/1-7/11 you can get a partial refund of $150. Please understand that a lot of our race costs have been incurred by then. Might make some exceptions if we have a waitlist and it's easy to slide someone into your spot but this is a first time event so we'll see.
