    Originally conceived to honor the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the 30th anniversary of the Wyoming Wilderness Act, the Run the Red races have become an annual celebration of Wyoming’s wildest places. 

    The races begin at South Pass City and interested runners can register for Run the Red at www.wildwyo.org/run-the-red.
