Frequently named one of the best courses and favorite marathons among career runners, the Missoula Marathon will return in 2022 and be held June 24 – 26 in the city that gives the marathon its name.
With a course that winds across the beautiful Missoula valley, runners will have a running experience unlike most others. They’ll have panoramic views of the mountains. They’ll run over hillsides and across bridges that span the Clark Fork River. They even might find themselves keeping pace with horses on the ranches that line the course.
The event, hosted by the nonprofit organization Run Wild Missoula, features several races over the weekend.
