About this race
TOUGH SHEEP 2027 – Early Bird Reservation
Date: February 5, 2027
TOUGH SHEEP returns in 2027 with the same proven format and an even sharper edge. This one-day event is built to test the physical and mental demands of the backcountry athlete—where completion matters and grit wins the day.
All finishers will be entered to win a sheep hunt giveaway (specific hunt details to be announced).
What to expect:
Cap: 510 participants
30-person waves — choose your start time
First wave = Pro Competition Wave (elite athletes, strictly judged & timed)
No separate pro competition—everyone competes on the same course
Designed to simulate the demands of a mountain sheep hunt
This is an early bird reservation for those who want first access before full event details, sponsors, and prize announcements go live. Lock in your spot now—TOUGH SHEEP sells out.
