Robert's Run exists to celebrate Robert Leonardi's spirit by connecting our communities and supporting the Play Like Robert Foundation. Robert's Run is a 10K, 5k, 1 mile and Tri-fecta (participate in all 3 races) run/walk in Hamilton Montana on Saturday, August 3, 2024. Our courses show off the beauty of the Bitterroot Valley! The 1 mile run/walk is stroller friendly. We suggest a large wheeled stroller for the 5K and 10K courses. Stay after the race and enjoy the family friendly festival including refreshments and games.
Our Race Ambassador Keira D’Amato will not be able to join us for the Runner’s Clinic Friday, August 2nd, due to unforeseen circumstances.

Additionally, she will be available to meet and take photos after the runner’s clinic and during the races on Saturday, August 3rd. She will be participating in the 1 Mile race. Don’t miss your chance to meet Emily and participate in Robert’s Run.
