Missoula Marathon

Missoula Marathon is held on June 25, 2027, in Missoula, Montana. The marathon (26.2 mi) is announced with 107 metres of climbing and the half marathon (13.1 mi) with 54 metres, alongside a 5K (3.1 mi), with a wheelchair option available. Start times are not listed in our records.

Barely a hundred metres of climbing over a marathon makes this an honestly flat course, and the valley setting means the wind is usually light — the two ingredients of a fast time. What remains is the heat: western Montana warms quickly once the sun is over the ridges, so the runners who finish well are those who spent the cool first hours running conservatively.
