During the race on the last day of the 2019 Headwaters relay, one of the race directors' rental cars and attached bike were damaged in an accident. The bike and bike rack were totaled. Our vehicle rental insurance claim was denied. Total damages to replace bike, bike rack, and repair the rental car are $6500. The Headwaters Relay account has enough funds to cover only a small part of this. We are hoping to raise money to limit the personal cost to the directors. Click on the link to help.
The Headwaters Relay is a three day, 217 mile team running relay race. The course runs through the mountains and valleys of Southwest Montana. The route is 98% on dirt and two-track roads revisiting Lewis and Clark's trek. The race starts at the confluence of the Missouri River, and winds its way through the backcountry, passing over three mountain ranges and ending in the Centennial Valley at Hell Roaring Creek, the furthest headwaters of the Missouri.
