WHY RUN MISSOULA…

The race organizers did everything right for this marathon: excellent communications, the expo was fun and easy, shuttles to the start were plentiful and on time, so many porta-potties at the start I never waited in line longer than 10 minutes, a beautiful course, awesome pacers, water stops were perfect with really helpful volunteers, and a finish line that went smoothly. Plus the weather was perfect! There aren’t a lot of spectators, but the ones out there are friendly and helpful. We stayed at a hotel in town which meant we could walk everywhere and enjoy downtown Missoula.

This was my first half-marathon ever, and I was amazingly impressed. Everything was so well coordinated, and the volunteers were just so, so great! On the route, they offered just that little bit of extra encouragement that helped me take that next step, and they were all just so full of smiles and positivity! What a great experience! And whoever was in charge of the weather? Kudos to you, my friend! It was PERFECT! Thank you so much for running such a wonderful event!‬‬

Definitely a must-do. Was my 88th and was there to celebrate Jeff G’s 200th – glad I came! Extraordinary scenery and easy course! Packet pick-up a breeze. Many pre-race activities including a beer run and 5K. EVERYONE is friendly and helpful – small town feel throughout. Well-organized buses to start with tons of portalets, last-minute items to help you, on-time start, well-marked course and mile markers. Update mats worked perfect. Great energy at the end. DJ knew what he was doing, loads of post-race food and places to sit. Easy drop bag pick-up. Metal is huge! Race priced very well, numerous and up-to-date posts on Facebook, emails, etc. Water stops manned with very friendly folks. Never alone on the course but never crowded. Pacers were spot-on. This race promised and OVER-delivered. They are excellent stewards of the sport. Airport close by, incredible scenery and things to do abound. Hotels had good rates and late checkout. Looking forward to returning soon. FANTASTIC job, Team Missoula!

“Fireworks at the start. Sun rising over the distant mountains. The only hill worth mentioning was so gentle and brought you up along a ridge line overlooking the river on one side and endless supply of shady trees on the other. Two spectators sitting atop their horses to encourage runners up said climb, which was also the image on the well-designed race shirt. The number of spectators is about what you would expect from a relatively rural marathon, but their enthusiasm and offering of support (food and mist stations) was enormously helpful – one guy played his piano on his yard. A truly enjoyable event!” — SK from New York
