About the race
The Madison River Run is a local 5K held in Ennis, Montana, at Lion's Club Park beside the Madison River. The event carries the sub-name Water to Whiskey 5K and is presented in partnership with the Greater Yellowstone Adventure Series and Willies Distillery, a small batch distillery with a tasting room a few hundred yards from the park. Historically the run attracted about 50 to 60 participants from Madison County and Southwest Montana. The course currently starts next to the Madison River and finishes inside Lion's Club Park; the course layout is pending a possible change this year or next.
