Missoula Marathon
The Missoula Marathon is a weekend of events organized by Run Wild Missoula and presented by Young Automotive Group. The 2026 weekend is scheduled for June 26 to 28, 2026. The event program includes a full marathon, a half marathon, a 5K, a kids marathon, a beer run, a workplace 5K challenge, the Big 3 Challenge, an expo packet pickup and an Earl’s VIP option for Marathon and Half Marathon participants.
The full marathon course is described as flat and fast, USATF certified, and is listed as a Boston qualifier. The half marathon course is also USATF certified. The Tony Banovich 5K registration includes a race shirt, a finishers medal and chip timing. The Missoula Kids Marathon is a non-competitive, non-timed program that combines a logging marathon with a one-mile fun run for children ages 13 and under. The Beer Run is a relaxed three mile route held on Friday night.
The Missoula Marathon began as a project of local members of Run Wild Missoula who sought to share the area’s landscape and community feel with visiting runners. The event has received recognition from running publications and lists, including mentions by Runner’s World and BibRave. Run Wild Missoula is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and acknowledges the homelands of the Salish and Kalispel people. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
