Courses

Half Marathon

The half marathon has approximately 1500′ of climbing over 13.6 miles. The majority of the climbing is in the first half of the race. This section of the course offers excellent views into Idaho before you wrap around and look towards the Bitterroots. The latter half of the course descends through forested dirt road before joining up with the 10k course near Packer Meadow.

10k

The 10k has approximately 380′ of climbing over 6 miles. This course takes you through the gorgeous Packer Meadow on a smaller dirt road before looping back onto the Half Marathon Course.

Driving directions from Lolo:

• Head West on US Highway 12 for 38 miles.

COVID Guidelines:

• If you are feeling sick or if anyone in your home is exhibiting Covid symptoms, please stay home.
• Masks are no longer required at the event. However, if you are not vaccinated we highly recommend you wear a mask when you cannot socially distance from others.
• We will offer a rolling start window of 10 minutes so that race participants can spread out and limit congestion. Our events are chip timed, so your time will begin when you cross the start mat.  You, however, must start with the gun if you are competing for top 3 overall awards.
• Hand sanitizer will be provided in the start finish area and at aid stations for runner’s use.  Aid stations will be set up in a way to limit congestion and  contact as much as possible.
• We will offer a post race meal and our volunteers will do all the serving and handling of food instead of allowing participants to serve themselves.
• Finally, we respect each and every persons right to feel safe. If you feel uncomfortable at any time we support you in your decision to wear a mask and stay distant from others at our event.

Dogs are Welcome:

Most of the Runner’s Edge events are on single track trail, which limits canine companionship for safety, but Mountain to Meadow is not! So bring your canine friend, but please keep him or her on leash at all times and clean up any messes.
