Meet your race director
Christine Dieterich
2024 marks the 10th year as Race Director for Christine Dieterich, who is also the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Bighorns.
​
Christine has been an avid runner since 2014, and loves exploring new trails and pushing herself to do increasingly hard things-usually in the form of crazy trail runs and races (even if she swears she is NEVER doing that again after every race).
​
She has done every distance from 5k to 50k, with her first 50 mile race coming up. Like we said, she pushes the limits and does hard things.
​
While she thoroughly enjoys the challenges of trails, she loves to be on the other side too-marking trails, meeting new people, finding new ways to torture runners (errr...take care of them), and ringing that cowbell. She will be a face you will want to know.
