Event
The Sorry Bout That Half Marathon and Team Relay takes place on Saturday, January 10, 2026, in Polson, MT. This is the 12th running of the event. Race entries include the following distances:
- 1/2 Marathon
- 3-person Team Relay
Free finisher medals are provided to entrants who complete the race. T-shirt selection moved to an extra-cost option and the shirt option was turned off on 12/29/2025. Participants who wear a costume receive a 30 second head start. Packet pickup is same-day only.
Course
The race starts and finishes at the Mission Valley Aquatic Center on Ridgewater Drive. The course is a large clockwise loop with an uphill start and uphill finish and a long downhill in the middle miles. Most turns on the course are to the right, with one exception. Two aid stations and one porta-john are located on the course.
Logistics
Parking is not allowed at the Mission Valley Aquatic Center. All parking is at the soccer fields behind the pool; drive past the pool on Ridgewater and turn right into the large gravel lot. The course follows local roads and bike paths, including Reservoir Road (recently repaved with a bike lane), Back Road which becomes Kerr Dam, and 7th Avenue through town. Roads will not be closed to traffic, so participants must obey traffic rules. A combined Montana Frozen Fool/Full award is offered for completing this race and a February event; results must be submitted by email for a personalized award.
