AIDSPIRIT USA Marathon
The AIDSPIRIT USA Marathon takes place on Sunday September 6, 2026 in Harlowton, Montana, with multiple running events at the same location. Distances offered include:
- Full Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10K Run
- 5K Fun Run
The point to point course runs from the Little Belt mountains in Lewis & Clark National Forest into Historic Harlowton and includes views of the Crazy Mountains. The route is entirely on compacted gravel with calcium chloride treated hard pack for the majority of the course and features about 1,800 feet of net decline. The finish is at Gally's Brewing Company where finishers receive a complimentary hand crafted pint.
This event is a fundraiser for AIDSPIRIT USA, a 501(c)(3) organization that has supported orphaned, abandoned, or abused children in the Kayunga District of Uganda since 2009. Funds raised are used to meet the needs of the children in that program.
Logistics include a pre-race shuttle to the start, a gear drop transported to the finish, and limited parking at the start. Camping and lodging options are noted near the start and finish, including Jellison Place campground and Chief Joseph Park. A bag grab is available at Gally's Brewing.
Awards are given to the top three female and male overall marathon finishers and to the first overall female and male in the half and 10K, with an awards ceremony at noon. A random vacation drawing for marathon and half participants offers a roundtrip flight to Rome, Paris, or Cancun under sponsor terms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
