Race Packet Pick Up
Available at Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks on Wednesday, Nov. 26 from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. Packet pick up on race day is available from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 27.
10 K
The 10k will start at the entrance to the park on the trail and proceed west towards the Missouri River Diner. The turn will be approximately 50 yards prior to the first driveway to the diner where there will be an aid station. This is just the opposite, as it has been run in the past four years and will be a quicker route with the wind at your back running towards the finish. The only hill in the course will be at the turn instead of at the end.
5K
The 5k will start at the same location, only it will head east. The turn will be on the big hill. There is a restroom on the course approximately a quarter mile into the course.
Timing
It is tradition that these events are not timed. The idea behind the race is a family gathering that burns calories and raises money for the River’s Edge Trail. We’re here for fun!!!
Our new routes will not require traffic crossings either!
(PLEASE NO DOGS, STROLLERS, ROLLERBLADES, OR SKATEBOARDS)
