Upcoming Races & Activities |

Virtual Snow Joke Half Marathon: The 42nd annual Snow Joke Half Marathon is happening this weekend! The Snow Joke has traditionally been an in-person half marathon, but it has transitioned to a virtual event for 2021 to keep everyone active while staying socially distanced. Even though this event won't be in person, you still get to run 13.1 blazing fast, freezing cold miles. Registration will end on February 28th, 2021.
For more information and to register, click here.
Golden Gallop: The March installment of the Run for Missoula Virtual Race Series is the Golden Gallop. This 10K run or walk starts on March 15th and ends on March 21st. Funds from this race will benefit the Meals on Wheels Program at Missoula Aging Services. This program provides homebound older adults who are unable to shop or cook for themselves a healthy meal, which empowers them to live safely and independently in their own homes. Registration will close on March 14th, 2021.

Spring Road Training Class: This class has been offered since the Missoula Marathon began and has traditionally been a training class tailored specifically for the Missoula Marathon & Half Marathon. This spring, we are excited to add additional distance options to the training class for those looking for structure in training with guidance from a coach. This is a great class to take whether you are a first-timer or repeat runner looking to successfully train for and complete an event during the Missoula Marathon weekend, or have other events to tackle on your calendar! The class starts virtually and potentially move to in-person later in the spring. Registration is open and the class starts on February 28th, 2021.

Missoula Half Marathon Walking Class: If you're looking for a low impact way to train for and successfully complete the Missoula Half Marathon on June 17, 2021, and also develop a network of fun, knowledgeable, encouraging folks of all shapes, sizes, and ages, then this is the class for you! The calss starts virtually and will potentially move to in-person later in the spring. Registration opens today and the class will start on March 13th, 2021.

Stay Fit, Stay Active, Stay Healthy - Phase Two does not mean that social distancing is over. Social distancing has been demonstrated as the best weapon that we have at this time in fighting the spread of this virus. We must do our part to ensure the health and safety of those around us. As such, we still encourage you to follow good social distancing and hygiene practices.
- If you have been vaccinated, we ask that you still uphold our covid guidelines with mask wearing and social distancing at all times
- To the greatest extent possible, maintain at least 6-feet of separation from others
- This does not include members of your immediate household
- No hugs, handshakes, high fives, or elbow bumps
- Wash your hands, or use hand sanitizer, before and after your run or walk
- And, regularly wash your hands in between your runs and walks
- Sneeze or cough into a tissue, handkerchief, or the inside of your elbow
- Don’t pose together for selfies
- If you feel any sign of sickness or illness, stay home
- If it seems overly busy where you intended to run or walk and it’s more congested than you are comfortable with, consider finding a different course/route/trail
