Copper Kings 100
June 25-26 2027
Butte, Montana
My family has a long history in Butte, Montana. Both my parents were born and raised there while my dad’s dad worked in the underground mines of Butte, and my mom’s dad was a county commissioner and a well-known insurance agent.
The 100 mile loop course starts and ends at the Belmont Mine in Butte and includes 63 miles of the wonderful Continental Divide Trail. The elevation at the start is 5,650 ft, the highest point is at 8,400 feet, and you will enjoy a total of nearly 14,000 feet of vertical gain and loss.
Registration will open in December
Since the Copper Kings 100 runs the same weekend as Western States, we will open registration the day after the WSER lottery draw so that you’ll know for sure that you didn’t get in to Western States again.
Proceeds from this event will benefit:
- Our Lady of the Rockies
- Mile High Nordic Ski Education Foundation
- Continental Divide Trail Coalition
- Montana Endurance Trail Foundation
The 2027 Copper Kings 100 will be a qualifier for the 2028 Western States.
