The Running with the Bulls event serves as an annual fundraiser for the Musk Ox Farm, offering participants a unique experience through the pastures surrounding the farm. Contrary to what the name may suggest, participants do not actually run with the musk oxen, but rather navigate around the farm while these majestic animals observe from their pastures. This race provides a unique vantage point of the farm, allowing participants to traverse the picturesque pastures and hills encompassing the 75-acre property. Every participant is rewarded with beautiful views of the property, the musk oxen, the surrounding mountains, a story to tell, and even a commemorative race t shirt!
The course takes you through our pastures and perimeter of our 75 acre property.
-No part of the course is paved at any point, it is over mowed pastureland throughout the entire race. There will be sections of uneven footing and hills.
-A large portion of the course is not shaded, so don't forget the sunscreen!
-Water is not provided on the course, so please plan to bring your own. There will be water for filling bottles/camelbaks before and after the race.
-You will be rewarded with amazing views of the Chugach & Talkeetna mountains, and musk oxen of course! The course takes you to parts of the property not usually open to the public.
