The Battle-scar Brunch!

8 am ‘til whenever!

Our Sunday battle-scar brunch is changing locations! Our friends at Home Ranch Bottoms have had an unexpected and untimely utilities emergency and are unable to host this year, so we are inviting all our runners to support the Polebridge Mercantile on Sunday morning from 8am to noon for coffee, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and $80 registration to 2026 Le Grizz! You MUST be in-person to register.
