Missoula YMCA Riverbank Run

Lace up for a springtime tradition at the 54th Annual Missoula YMCA Riverbank Run on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in scenic Missoula, Montana. This beloved community event, a favorite since 1972, offers a welcoming atmosphere for runners of all ages and abilities, with distances including a 10K, 5K, and a 1 Mile Fun Run. For those seeking an extra challenge, the unique Trifecta option invites participants to conquer all three races for a total of 10.321 miles.

The flat and fast course winds through vibrant Missoula Midtown, beginning at the intersection of Higgins and Broadway, before transitioning to the picturesque river trail and concluding near the Boone and Crockett Club, across from Caras Park. Runners can expect beautiful scenery as they make their way along the routes, which are also designed to be stroller and wheelchair friendly. Typical race day conditions in late April offer ideal running weather, with highs around 59F and lows around 34F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the rewarding miles, the Missoula YMCA Riverbank Run is celebrated for its incredible energy and community spirit. It stands as a significant fundraiser for the Missoula Family YMCA, with all proceeds directly benefiting local youth programs through the Y's financial assistance initiatives. Join thousands of participants in this meaningful race, whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a fun day out with family.
