Missoula Marathon Half Marathon 5K Kids Marathon

Missoula Marathon runs over June 26 and 27, 2027, in Missoula, Montana. The wheelchair marathon starts at 5:55 a.m., the marathon (26.2 mi) at 6:00 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 mi) at 7:00 a.m., the Tony Banovich 5K at 8:00 a.m. and a children's marathon at 10:00 a.m. No elevation gain is listed.

A 6:00 a.m. marathon start in western Montana is a deliberate choice: the valley heats up quickly in late June, and the field is meant to be finishing while the air is still cool. Build your plan around that — the runners who struggle here are the ones still out after ten in the morning, so a conservative first half buys far more than an ambitious one.
