The Pinedale Half Marathon and 10K races were first held in 2004 but in 2022, the focus of the event shifted from a one-day race into a three-month fundraising campaign for the many nonprofits of Sublette County. Today, this series of races is the culminating event of Foundation 23’s Community Fundraiser, with $5 from each entry fee donated to a local nonprofit of the racer’s choosing.
Thanks to generous local sponsors, $39,760 in matching funds were available for the 2023 fundraising efforts. Foundation 23’s giving campaign began on July 1 and ended Sept. 23.
