Event Details

A smaller event, limited to 500 participants each for the full and half marathons, the Grizzly Marathon & Half Marathon takes runners across some of Montana's wildest backcountry, within sight of grizzly and black bears, mountain goats, elk, bighorn sheep, moose and more. The course takes runners along the Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone along the Rocky Mountain Front in northern Montana, located about an hour's drive from nearby Glacier National Park. The course is monitored closely to ensure the safety of participants, who will have to get up early for the start of the race -- the half marathon portion of the event begins at 6:30 AM.
