Run Wild Readers

Seasonal Book Club

Run Wild Missoula is excited to introduce this new program starting in September of 2023. Run Wild Missoula members have shown their passion for walking and running in the Missoula community, but many also share a love for reading. Run Wild Readers is aimed at combining those two interests with a focus on running based novels. The book club has made a conscious effort to include books with different points-of-view while understanding the triumphs, struggles, barriers and memories of people that share the sport.

 Come for an hour to socialize, relax, and talk through provided discussion points on the book of the season. The titles of our picks are announced by quarters in order to provide ample amount of time for readers to pick up their book of choice and join us for the month(s) that interest them!
