The Missoula Marathon and Half Marathon are Walker Friendly

The Missoula Marathon is Walker Friendly!

Full Marathon Walkers
The full marathon course is open 7 ½ hours for walkers! Walkers for the full marathon must register in the “Walker” category. Starting time is 5 a.m. There will be no aid stations open until 6 am, so the first hour walkers are unsupported.

We do not have an awards category for walkers, but you do receive your medal and all the other goodies that come with your accomplishment.  You must complete the course by 12:30 p.m. to have an official time.  

If you are a super fast walker, can finish in 6 1/2 hours or less, and want to start at 6 a.m with the rest of the athletes, DO NOT register as a walker! If you register as a walker, and start at 6 a.m., our timer will automatically add an hour to your time because you are registered as a walker and it is an assumed start time of 5 a.m.

Half Marathon Walkers
The half marathon course is open for 6 ½ hours.  Register as a Half Marathon participant -- there is no separate designation for Half Marathon walkers.  You start at 6 a.m. with all the other Half Marathon participants. Please position yourself at the back of the starting line. 

You must complete the course by 12:30 pm to have an official time.

Have fun!
