It was my first marathon and I am glad I ran this as my first. starting from the beautiful town and its fantastic people. Two runs the beer run and the 5K came perfectly with my plan for marathon training taper. The management of this race is amazing. The aid sections were fully staffed. cheering people and had powered and water option which worked so well. strategic locations so I was never stressed about hydration . The pita poties at the beginning were plenty . The shuttle services are amazing . I mean I can go on and on .
The people of Missoula were so welcoming and cheering. They out their sprinklers on, had gummy bears , water stands , " fireball bottle" and cheers all the way .
post race photos were free and were being taken with family . pre race you could get free taping and for a minimum amount you could get post race massage from alpine physical therapy . shout out to them for making my run so enjoyable for taping me .
I loved the town . If I don't run again I will definitely come to cheer to enjoy the experience and food and breweries of this town
