Get ready to experience the "best kept secret in Montana Half Marathons" at the Kickin Assphault Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, 1 Mile run/walk, and 1/2 Mile Kid's Dash on May 31, 2026, in Great Falls, Montana. This event is renowned for its "Flat. Fast. Beautiful." course, making it an ideal opportunity for runners looking to achieve a personal record. The USATF-certified course takes participants along the scenic River's Edge Trail, offering stunning views of the Missouri River as you navigate a predominantly paved path with minimal elevation changes, including just one slight hill and a few short inclines.

Starting and finishing at Elks Riverside Park in front of the tennis courts, the Kickin Assphault race provides a welcoming atmosphere for all participants. Hydration and support are readily available with multiple aid stations strategically placed along the Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k routes, offering water and, for the longer distances, restrooms. Typical race day conditions in late May in Great Falls feature pleasant highs around 71°F and lows around 47°F, with a low 14% chance of precipitation, though the race proceeds regardless of weather.

Beyond the competitive distances, the event embraces family fun with a 1-mile run/walk and a 1/2 Mile Kid's Dash, ensuring there's an option for every age and ability. Walkers are welcome in the Half Marathon, with an early start option for those not seeking an official time. Participants rave about the course, with one reviewer calling it an "amazing race". Plus, a portion of the proceeds from this well-organized event benefits local causes, adding an extra layer of community spirit to your race day experience. All finishers receive a commemorative medal.
