This race takes place in Missoula, in March. What does that mean for participants? It means you never know what kind of weather we're going to have or what the weather will decide to drop on the streets as it passes through (i.e., snow sleet, rain, etc.). Be prepared for potentially slippery surfaces, potholes (watch for puddles), uneven surfaces, and loose sand and gravel! We will include more specific recommendations in accordance with the weather in our pre-race notes email, the day before the race.

After your 5k or 7 miler, join us inside the Culinary Building for some post-race food and beverage!
