Missoula and Bozeman Community Nights

We are thrilled to bring two events to life this spring in our largest communities of Bozeman and Missoula.  It’s a long time between sign up in January and the start line in September, and these community nights create a great touchpoint for our runners to come together to keep the stoke high!

Missoula Run & Restore Community Night | “M” Trailhead | Wednesday, May 20th

Join us for a group run with The North Face, Trail work on the M Trail, and Pizza, Drinks & Raffle to celebrate

This year, we are trying something new for our event in Missoula.  We’re hosting a trail work night on Montana’s most popular trail, the M trail on Mt Sentinel, and we need your help!  With so much traffic, the lower section of the trail needs some restoration work, and we are thrilled to partner with Friends of The ‘M’ Trail to lend a hand with the project.  

As trail runners, we have a duty to give back to the places we love. Also, if you’ve ever done trail work, you know the appreciation and sense of empowerment that comes with a job well done.  Every time you pass a water bar you dug out, or a switchback you built, you feel a sense of pride and ownership.  So really, this evening is as much a gift to ourselves as it is the trail! 

We will start the evening off with a short group run, and our friends from The North Face will be on-site with their latest and greatest trail shoes for you to take for a spin. 

To cap things off, we will celebrate with pizza and beverages, as well as a raffle with prizes from many of our partners.  

This event is open to anyone interested in joining. You do not need to be signed up for the Rut to participate, but you do need to sign up for this FREE event so we can plan accordingly for the evening.
