They changed up the course a bit this year, but it was still beautiful! We started on the bridge across the Clark Fork River before weaving through tree lined streets of Missoula and past the University of Montana campus before finishing in Caras Park. They do not provide any finish food/refreshments, which after a 5k you don’t really need, but it’s always nice to receive something. The medal and finisher shirts are always top notch!

The expo is held in the same venue as the 5k, so it makes it super convenient to pick up your packet after! All of the volunteers were incredibly friendly and excited to be there. As always, the finisher shirts are amazing- can’t wait to rock those after my races!! I had to buy some extra Missoula Marathon branded swag because they really do have the best designs. I wear my Missoula Marathon swag more than any other race.
