St. Luke Buffalo Run
About this race
Buffalo Run 2026 – Set for Saturday, July 11th, 2026!
The Buffalo Run is part of the fun, family-oriented St. Ignatius Good Old Days event and is hosted by St. Luke Community Healthcare as a way to give back to the community and the St. Ignatius Chamber of Commerce! The 1-mile fun run (walk/run), 4-mile run, and 7-mile run all start promptly at 8 a.m. on Main Street in front of Gambles Hardware (112 N. Main Street, St. Ignatius, MT 59865). While each run takes a different route, they all end back at the same start line, and the course will be marked.
ENTRY DEADLINES: Regular rates are available until July 9th. All entries after that date will be considered same-day registrations. You can sign up online here or complete and return a paper registration form. Family rates are available if you sign up online. T-shirts are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We cannot guarantee exact sizing, but we will do our best! Same-day registration shirts will be limited to the supply available on race day. Formal same-day registrations will be cut off at 7:30 a.m. the morning of the race, so volunteers can properly assist all race participants. You can still pay cash or check to run your race and buy a shirt, your run just won’t be timed. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact Whitney Liegakos at 406-528-5262 or email wliegakos@stlukehealthcare.org.
We’re excited to see you at the event!
