Campaign: new trailer
After bringing 105 runners to Butte for our inaugural Copper Kings 100, we learned an important lesson: ultramarathon logistics require serious infrastructure. Right now, we're shuttling tents, generators, medical supplies, and aid station gear for our eight remote locations rented trailers with some things in a storage unit. It works, but it's not sustainable—and it limits our ability to grow.
We're raising funds to acquire a 20-foot enclosed cargo trailer that will transform how we operate. This trailer will store and transport everything we need for race day, streamline setup and breakdown across Montana's backcountry, and expand our capacity to serve more runners safely. Between events, it becomes a mobile billboard for the Copper Kings 100 and our nonprofit partners, showcasing Montana endurance sports wherever it travels.
