From the Organizer

Put the pedal to the meadow and join us for the Little Dipper Kids Trail Run! 

We invite Little Dippers to experience Marshall Mountain in full bloom—wildflowers, balsam, and all the magic of springtime trails. I ain’t dandelion when I say… thistle be a beautiful day! 🌸

Choose Your Trail:

🟢 FREE 1K Fun Run at 1 pm
🌿 $19 – 2 Mile Trail Run at 1:30 pm
⛰️ $19 – 4 Mile Trail Run at 1:30 pm


All participants will cross the finish line and celebrate with well-deserved ice cream 🍦—because every great run deserves a sweet reward!

We also invite you to consider donating to Go Run Missoula, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing non-competitive running and strength-training programs for 3rd–8th grade female and non-binary youth.

That's not all! Consider joining us the day before for the Second Annual Marshall Mountain Revival Runs (organized by the Rut Mountain Runs). They have a team relay, 5 Mile, and 25K option available. Learn more here

With two exciting events at Marshall Mountain and a whole weekend celebrating trail running in Missoula, this is a community-wide celebration you won’t want to miss.

*Trail permits obtained through the Missoula County  and Marshall Mountain
