Yellowstone Trail Marathon and Trail Races
The Yellowstone Trail Marathon and Trail Races take place in West Yellowstone, Montana on July 11, 2026. Events are based at the Rendezvous Ski Trails near 100 Geyser Street, within walking distance of the Stagecoach Inn. The race operation is organized by Wolf Pack Adventures with involvement from Yellowstone Running Company.
Multiple distances are offered:
- The Yellowstone Marathon, 26.2 Miles
- The Yellowstone 1/2 Marathon, 13.1 Miles
- The Yellowstone 50K
- The Yellowstone 25K
- The Yellowstone 10K
- The Yellowstone 5K
Courses use mixed terrain rather than paved roads. The routes start on the Rendezvous Ski Trails and consist of rolling terrain with some gravel sections. The event is chip timed, held on a marked and certified course, and includes aid station support and posted results.
All registrants receive a souvenir medal and lanyard, a custom race bib and stickers, Hammer Nutrition fueling items, and finish-line snacks and refreshments. A custom Yellowstone trail race tri-blend shirt and a seasonal medal are noted for specific races; discounted race shirts are available for purchase and can be delivered via Amazon Prime.
The event is permitted under a special use authorization from the Custer Gallatin National Forest. The Forest Service recommends that participants carry bear spray for the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
