Bozeman Half Marathon & 10K

Get ready for an unforgettable running experience at the Bozeman Half Marathon & 10K on Sunday, September 13, 2026, in the stunning Gallatin Valley of Bozeman, Montana. This event offers participants the choice of a 13.1-mile or 6.2-mile distance, both featuring fast, point-to-point courses that showcase panoramic Montana mountain ranges and the area's picturesque scenery. Runners will begin in the southern foothills, traversing a mix of paved and gravel roads with occasional small hills, before enjoying a predominantly downhill journey that culminates with an exciting finish on historic Main Street in downtown Bozeman.

The Bozeman Half Marathon & 10K is renowned for its well-organized atmosphere and excellent course support. Aid stations are strategically placed approximately every three miles, fully stocked with water and Tailwind Electrolyte, along with assorted Hammer Gels and/or GU Gels at select locations, and two bathrooms per station. While the courses are open to traffic, they are heavily marked and managed by safety personnel, ensuring a safe and enjoyable race. Typical race day conditions in mid-September offer ideal running weather, with historical highs around 73°F and lows around 44°F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation, though runners are advised to dress warmly for the early morning start.

Beyond the scenic challenge, this race offers a unique Montana experience, recognized for its "small-time race charm" even with hundreds of participants. The event, presented by the Bozeman Running Company, also partners with the Bozeman Distance Project to support local youth cross country and track teams, adding a community-focused element to your run. Finishers can expect a rewarding experience with spectacular views along the way and a lively downtown finish.
