Elkhorn Endurance Run brings out the die-hards

Fitness enthusiasts, nature lovers and masochists alike came together to participate in the annual Elkhorn Endurance Run on Aug. 5 in a celebration of Montana scenery and mountain running.

The race was founded by Jim and Bobbi Pomeroy in 1989 and was considered one of the most challenging 100k events in the country.

“We were endurance runners and traveled all over for ultra-runs,” Bobbi Pomeroy told The Monitor. “We wanted to show off Montana.”
