Race Purse 2.0

14 June 2026

Mountain Outpost’s Race Purse – which some people have considered dead already – is getting an update. The app morphed into a database tracking prize purses across trail and ultra running events:

Track every prize purse and every dollar won, browse upcoming races, see what’s on the line, and follow the money list.

Not sure I love the inclusion of ‘ultra races’ like Comrades. This skews the overall numbers too much. Maybe the option to sort by just ‘trail events’ would solve that problem.

What’s funny to me about this project is that Aravaipa (owner of Mountain Outpost, Steep Life Media, Read Reckoning Labs and this Race Purse app) – I believe – have never paid out prize money for any of their races (except the crowdfunded prize purse at Black Canyon from earlier this year) but now their new tool is tracking and putting a spotlight on other races.

Sign up and never miss a story.
