Missoula Marathon Weekend of Events 2026

Missoula Marathon Weekend of Events is a runner-focused race weekend in Missoula, Montana, with a marathon at the center and a Runner’s Expo before race day. The event schedule includes bib and shirt pickup, registration setup, official merchandise sales, volunteer check-in, VIP area prep, and aid-station setup, so the weekend starts before runners reach the start line. One practical tradition is a pre-race course clean-up, where volunteers split up the miles and clean the road ahead of the race. The volunteer jobs show how much of the event depends on local hands: people line water barrels, load supplies, arrange expo tables, sell gear, check in other volunteers through a race app, and staff the expo while runners collect bibs and shirts.
