Whether you’re racing, supporting, or soaking up the atmosphere, here’s what’s happening at Bright Brewery:
Thursday 26 March
- Registrations: 12pm – 6pm – at the Brewery Paddock – Beat the crowds and pick up your bib early.
- Buffalo Stampede Movie Night – Settle in for an evening of trail‑running films and inspiration.
MOVIE NIGHT: This year we’re stoked to screening The Cutoff : A Film about the 2025 Cocodona 250
The Cutoff is a feature-length documentary set inside Cocodona 250, a 250 mile ultramarathon across Arizona, where time, not distance, is the race’s most unforgiving opponent. Following a group of underdog runners, the film focuses on those fighting exhaustion, injury, and doubt as they race each checkpoint before the clock runs out. As the finish line looms for some and disappears for others, The Cutoff reveals what it means to keep moving when the odds, and time itself, are stacked against you. A film by Dylan Harris of SOMO Collective & edited by Brooks Upham.
