Experience the Montana Meltdown Fixed Time Event on September 25, 2027, at Gallatin Valley Regional Park in Bozeman. This endurance challenge offers three race options: a grueling 24-hour race starting at 10 am, a 12-hour race beginning simultaneously with it, and a more manageable but still intense 4-hour race kicking off at noon. The event unfolds on a scenic 1.5-mile loop through Gallatin Valley Regional Park, where runners can push their limits against the clock in a supportive atmosphere. Each lap is punctuated by one aid station offering an array of food options including vegan and gluten-free choices to keep you fueled throughout your race. Crew support is available every lap for those who need it. While parking at the park is limited, carpooling or staying nearby at local hotels are recommended alternatives. Race day packet pickup starts early at 8 am in the Start/Finish area where runners can collect their timing chips before their respective start times. Awards will be presented to the top three overall winners in each race category and all participants receive finisher swag, making this a memorable running experience amidst Montana's stunning landscape.
