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!

Bozeman Community Night | Wednesday | July 1st

The Mountain Project Gym

Group Run | Pizza & Drinks | Show & Tell Storytelling

Join us on July 1st for a group run, pizza, drinks, and a Trail Running Show & Tell.

The idea is simple. Bring an object and tell a story. Maybe it’s a race bib, a pair of shoes, a photo, a map, a piece of gear, or something else entirely. The story can be about trail running, an adventure, a meaningful experience outdoors, or whatever comes to mind.

We’ll have a handful of folks lined up to share, and if inspiration strikes, there will be room for others to jump in as well.

We’ll also have The North Face on site with shoe demos if you’d like to take a pair out for the run. The first 50 people through the door will receive a free pair of Darn Tough socks, and we’ll finish the evening with a raffle featuring prizes from our partners, including a Garmin Fenix watch.

Whether you’re signed up for The Rut or not, we’d love to have you join us for a run, some food, and an evening with the Bozeman trail running community.

Register:  This event is FREE, but you must RSVP here so we can plan accordingly.

Schedule:

• 5:00-5:30 PM –  Show up, and demo shoes from The North Face, nutrition products from Skratch Labs, and engage with other Rut partners.
• 5:30-6:30 PM – Group runs from the Gym (we will have a 4 mile and 7 mile option)
• 6:30-7:00 PM – Pizza and beverages from Big Sky Brewing
