Queer Run Missoula

The Second Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m.

This group unifies queer individuals who share the same love for running and walking within the Missoula community. We aim to foster a welcoming space for queer individuals, creating representation of the LGBTQIA+ community within running and walking, both road and trail, ideally becoming examples and voices for others.

This monthly meetup is a casual fun run/walk open to all runners and walkers of all abilities. Each month a 3 and 5 mile route is offered. At the end is a social gathering with libations and food. 

This event is reserved for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. While we are grateful for our allies, we’re excited to offer this experience and safe space for our queer community. 

Run Wild Missoula membership is not required, but encouraged. Runners are responsible for their own beverage and food purchases. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available.

Meet the Leaders of Queer Run!

Queer Run is led by an incredible trio: Liz, Devin, and Lauren! Their welcoming energy and passion for building community help make this run a space where everyone can feel comfortable, supported, and celebrated. Be sure to say hello and thank them for helping make this community so special!

Lauren Gardner

Lauren (she/her) is excited to be one of the leaders of RWM’s Queer Run Missoula group. As a “slow and steady” runner, Lauren enjoys seeking out nature and community on her runs around Missoula. Her favorite place to run is up the Rattlesnake. When she’s not planning runs with Queer Run Missoula, you’ll find her birdwatching, packrafting, reading, at The Roxy, or spending time with her spouse and baby girl.
