Run the bottom of the Glacial Lake: July 10, 2011
Everything that Missoula is -- our water, our geography, our lifestyle, is based upon the fact that once Missoula was Lake Missoula, a massive glacial lake. The course you follow on race day is the course Lake Missoula took when it erupted and carved its path through the rock towards the ocean.

The Missoula Marathon is the brainchild of a group of local, dedicated members of Run Wild Missoula who want to share the area's beauty and Missoula's unique feel with runners from all over. Run Wild Missoula is a non-profit, 501(c)3 running club.

"I joined RWM in the winter of 2010 to help me train for the Missoula Marathon, to raise money for the Reeve Foundation in honor of Bob Heinle. What I've gotten out of my membership is a great deal more. Training, yes. But also the friendship of people who treated me as if I were already an athlete, from the very beginning. Each contact with someone from RWM has been a gift of health and joy. That may seem like hyperbole, but it is not. This organization is FANTASTIC!"
