This was my first year running the Snow Joke Half Marathon. The race was well organized. There’s no standing outside in the freezing cold Montana weather. The school is open for packet pickup, bathrooms, stretching and to stay warm before the race starts. The course was was a fun loop around Seeley Lake. It was very icy for the majority of the race. Next year I will be wearing my cleats. There was also quite a bit of uphill running on the course. Nothing drastic but running uphill on ice adds to the challenge. And the most important part, the swag. The snowman medals are so stinking adorable! You can also purchase a Snow Joke technical long sleeve with the adorable snowman on it. On the whole it was a freezing fun race! I will be running it again in years to come!
