Want to be a Montana Local this Summer?
The Missoula Marathon is coming up in less than a month, and this is my first year taking part in the race and festivities. And it’s a chance for you to be a Montana local!
It’s a great event for all ages and offers a unique way to spend time with family and friends and enjoy some of the wonderful things Montana has to offer. For example…
The Top 10 Reasons to Check Out The Missoula Marathon
1. Help a charity.
Organized by Run Wild Missoula, a non-profit, 501(c)3 running club, The Missoula Marathon supports and promotes “running and walking for people of all ages and abilities.”
2. Have fun with the entire family!
Geared for all ages, there is a full marathon and 5K for avid runners, a half-marathon (what I’ll be participating in) and a kids’ race for ages 13 and under.
3. Feel like a Montana local.
If you’ve ever wanted to see what it’s like to be a Montana native, you can interact with the locals and get a true feel for the local area with this popular event.

The Missoula Marathon was named the #1 Marathon in the U.S. on The BibRave 100 list and the #1 Bucket List Marathon by Runner’s World!

The run takes you through a scenic, Montana countryside and finishes in the historic Missoula Downtown area.
