Event
Details
Roughly 300 runners or so make their way through the streets, city
parks, nature trails and country roads just outside Bozeman each spring
for the annual running of the now three-year-old Run to the Pub Half
Marathon & 10K, which takes runners on a point-to-point course
that features separate starting lines just outside town for the
13.1-mile and 10K races, both of which finish at exactly the same
place: Pub 317 on Bozeman's Main Street.
Because the race is run just as winter is officially giving way to
spring (but often lasts for weeks longer in this part of the country),
runners are cautioned to remember that the trail sections of the race
route can be wet, muddy and/or icy, so they'll need to exercise caution
of the area gets any precipitation in the days leading up to the race.
However, the course itself more than makes up for any challenges, as
runners will learn why they call Montana "Big Sky Country" all along
the course, from the wood-fenced country roads and wide-open grassy
meadows near the race starting line on Patterson Road to the
snow-capped peaks of the many mountains off in the distance. Runners
finish the race after winding through town from Patterson to the 10K
starting line on Nash Road and 3rd Street, after which they run along
the Bozeman city trail system and then finish at Pub 317, near Bogart
Park.
Race

March, the city's average precipitation totals average about 1.4 inches
for the month.
