Run Wild Missoula, the organization behind the popular Missoula marathon, currently scheduled for the weekend of June 20, has a decision to make, and the date to decide if the race will occur is fast approaching.

Missoula’s own Mark Messmer won the 2018 Missoula Marathon on Sunday morning with a personal best time of two hours twenty-seven minutes, not bad for a young man who did not consider himself much of a runner at Sentinel High School.
