From the Organizer
The Madison River Run is a fun-run 5K that meanders through the cowboy town of Ennis, Montana, from the local high school to the Blue-Ribbon Madison River in Lions Club Park. The inaugural year was 1997, and we are still going strong.
Starting in 2026, we have changed and improved upon the course! The new urban course is public on Garmin: https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/506736428
Prizes are awarded to the first and second place male and female finishers. Please stay afterwards for some food and beverages.
