Lace up for an unforgettable evening at the 18th Annual Night Owl Run, taking place on Friday, September 11, 2026, in the picturesque town of Livingston, Montana. This beloved event features a scenic 4.06-mile course that winds through beautiful Livingston, offering runners and walkers alike a unique opportunity to experience the town's charm as the sun sets. The course is largely characterized by a few minor rolling hills, making it enjoyable for participants of all skill levels, from seasoned runners to those looking for a fun evening stroll. Typical race day conditions in early September offer pleasant weather, with highs around 77°F and lows around 43°F, accompanied by a mere 7% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets the Night Owl Run apart is its vibrant atmosphere and commitment to community. Starting behind Livingston HealthCare on Alpenglow Lane at 6:30 PM MDT, the race concludes at the festive Miles Park Band Shell. Here, the celebration continues with a complimentary post-race BBQ and beverages, fostering a lively sense of camaraderie. Participants have even enjoyed free hamburgers, hot dogs, and local beer in previous years, often getting to keep a commemorative pint glass. Beyond the finish line festivities, this event is renowned for its positive impact, having raised over $100,000 for local programs and actively supporting Livingston Parks & Recreation and other community-focused initiatives.

Runners consistently praise the Night Owl Run for its "great setting, great food, great beer, and great ambiance," with many calling it the "Best evening race in Montana!" Adding to the fun, the race often features a costume contest, encouraging participants to don their best owl-themed attire for a chance to win prizes. Shuttles are conveniently provided from the finish line at Miles Park Band Shell back to the starting area, ensuring a smooth experience. Secure your spot by registering before August 16th to guarantee your limited edition event T-shirt and be one of the first 50 to receive extra awesome swag.
