About this race

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

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.
