About this race

The TOUGH BUCK Hunt Giveaway Workout is where elite fitness meets the spirit of the backcountry. This event blends physical grit with hunting passion in the most authentic way possible—designed to push participants to their limits while rewarding them in a way few experiences ever could.

Our goal is to raise over $50,000 for the Mule Deer Foundation. Every registration directly supports that mission.

Complete the hunt workout and you’ll be entered to win a Sitka blacktail deer and sea duck hunt for two. In addition, participants have a 1 in 30 chance of winning prizes from their wave sponsors. All registrants also receive a free T-shirt, swag bag, and finisher buckle.

Every participant who completes the workout also earns an entry into a once-in-a-lifetime guided fly-in hunting package. This premier experience includes full outfitting, expert guiding, lodging, meals, and a complete gear package featuring packs, optics, and Weatherby rifles and shotguns. Everything is provided for an unforgettable adventure in one of the most legendary Sitka blacktail destinations on Earth. The winner will select their hunt window for the 2027/2028 season, with exact dates coordinated through Big Timber Outfitters.

Only 510 spots are available.

Finish the workout—earn your entry. The winner will be selected at random from all finishers.

Additional Perks

In addition to the hunt entry, every participant receives three months of MTNTOUGH+ training to help prepare for the event and beyond.

You’ll also receive a complimentary Mule Deer Foundation membership, joining a community committed to conservation and habitat stewardship.

That’s over $100 in added value on top of the opportunity of a lifetime.
