Mntwi l Nłʔay Virtual Half Marathon
Thank you to all who participated in 2025!
What an incredible year! In 2025, we welcomed 116 participants from 13 states and 3 countries! Together, you helped raise $500 for Rising Hearts and an amazing $4,178.50 for All Nations Health Center. Thank you for making such a powerful impact!
Run Wild Missoula is honored to offer a Virtual Half Marathon with 100% of race proceeds going to All Nations Health Center; to deepen our commitment to learning more about and supporting our local Indigenous communities. Through partnership and education and in accordance with our mission and values, RWM is passionate to fostering a more inclusive community.
In 2022, RWM communicated with members from the Tribal History & Ethnography Projects Séliš-Ql̓ispé Culture Committee of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes. They have presented us with our race name, Mntwi l Nłʔay (Man-to-e el En-th-a-eye) which translates to, Running-in-Place-of-Small-Bull-Trout (Missoula).

Thank you: Shirley Trahan, SQCC’s Senior Translator and Language Advisor, for this recording.
Run Wild Missoula acknowledges that we are in the homelands of the Salish and Kalispel people. Today, we offer our respect for their history and culture, for their ancient and continuing presence in this landscape, and for the path they have shown us in caring for this place for the generations to come.
