Lace up for a truly meaningful race at the Patriot Run on Sunday, November 8, 2026, in Billings, MT. This inspiring event offers both a 5K and a 2K run/walk, inviting participants of all ages and abilities to contribute to a noble cause. The scenic course winds through the serene grounds of Mountview Cemetery, offering a unique and reflective atmosphere as you move. The 5K consists of two laps, while the 2K is a single lap around the beautiful cemetery, with the start and finish lines located near the Section 14 Veterans graves. Typical race day conditions in early November present cool temperatures, with highs around 52°F and lows near 27°F, alongside a minimal 3% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

More than just a race, the Patriot Run, hosted by Billings Parks and Recreation, stands as a heartfelt tribute to service members. All proceeds directly support veteran funeral services within Mountview Cemetery's Veteran section and contribute to its ongoing maintenance, aiming to ensure that no veteran's family shoulders these costs. Participants can look forward to finisher swag upon crossing the line, and the first 150 registrants are guaranteed a commemorative race shirt, with all entries automatically considered for exciting door prizes. Packet pickup will be conveniently held near the start/finish line, and dedicated parking will be available in Section 15 of Mountview Cemetery, accessible via the Industrial Avenue back gate. Join fellow runners and walkers for a day of community spirit and remembrance, honoring those who have served.
