Beautifully Brutal

We'd like to say thanks to all that participated in this first year event. We hope you enjoyed the town of Graeagle, along with it’s network of rugged trails. As you witnessed, we’re passionate about our trails and about hosting quality events, and we’re happy we got to share this first Lost Sierra with you.

Now we all know there's something very special in our backyard and we not only want to introduce it to other responsible humans, we want to enhance and protect it. That’s why 100% of the proceeds raised from this event will be used to support our Trail Maintenance Program, which not only helps to keep our trails in tip-top condition, it allows us to create local employment by hiring a professional trail crew that is responsible for maintaining area trails and leading volunteer trail crews. Throughout the trail season we host hundreds of volunteers from all over the country, to work on meaningful projects in beautiful places, building sustainable and fun trails for all types of user groups.

This event would not be possible without the support of land owners/managers and agency staff. A special thanks to- Graeagle Land & Water, Plumas Forest, Graeagle Fire, California Highway Patrol, Cal-Trans, Plumas County Public Works.

Also, a huge thanks to our many great sponsors and supporters- Sierra Nevada Brewery, Patagonia, Clif Bar, Reno Running Company, Champion Systems, Dunn Vineyards, Eco Centric, Gray Eagle Lodge, Trail Runner, Graeagle Outpost, Graeagle Mercantile, Graeagle Associates, Hammer Nutrition, Woolly Notions and Williams Construction, Red Star, Zico, Asics, Chalet View, J’s Feather River Rental and Plumas Sanitation.

We hope to see you on the trail, as a runner, as a steward and as a member of the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship.

Join us, we can’t do it without you!!

cheers,
the SBTS crew
