Wolf Run Series - Running Wolf

Lace up for the Wolf Run Series - Running Wolf, a thrilling race set against the picturesque backdrop of Stanford, Montana, on Saturday, July 18, 2026. This event offers a challenge for every pace, with a Half Marathon (13.1M), a spirited 5K, and a family-friendly 1 Mile Fun Run. Typical race day conditions in mid-July bring comfortable highs around 81F and lows near 46F, with only a 6% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for hitting the trails.

The Half Marathon route, a highlight of the Wolf Trifecta Series, promises an unforgettable journey. Runners will begin in the scenic Little Belt Mountains, embarking on a mostly downhill course for the first nine miles along a well-maintained gravel county road. The latter part of the race introduces a couple of challenging climbs before reaching the finish. The 5K offers a fun and challenging experience over rolling hills on a maintained gravel county road, while the 1 Mile Family Fun Run is a flat, welcoming course for all ages. Participants in the half marathon and 5K will meet at 3117 Mtn View Rd for bus transport to their respective starting lines, while the 1-mile race starts and finishes at the same location.

What makes the Running Wolf truly unique is its role in the Wolf Trifecta Series, an invitation to conquer three distinct half marathon courses over separate years to earn ultimate bragging rights, a commemorative T-shirt, and a hand-made medal. Aid stations with water will be available throughout the half marathon and at the finish line for all distances, alongside porta-potties at the start and finish. Post-race, runners can refuel with provided drinks, fruit, and baked goods, and even utilize the Stanford Pool locker rooms and showers. Proceeds from the event benefit the Basin Wellness Center, supporting health initiatives in Judith Basin County.
