Saturday, September 7 from 10 AM - 6:30PM

Sunday, September 8 (race morning) from 5:30 AM - 6:30 AM

*Located at the Element Hotel, 25 E Mendenhall Ave

Half Marathon - 8:00AM

10K - 8:15AM

Registered runners must ride a shuttle bus to the start line.

Because both events are point-to-point courses, we are required to provide a shuttle system to the start lines. Our city infrastructure is not large enough to accommodate runners being dropped off, or cars parking at the start. We work diligently with the City of Bozeman to reduce congestion, eliminate traffic concerns, and enhance safety for participating runners and the Bozeman community at large.

Cars parked at the start line will be towed. Cars dropping runners off will be turned around with no exceptions.

Shuttles will depart from Main Street, between Bozeman and Black Ave:

Half Marathon - 6:30 AM - 6:40 AM (DO NOT arrive at 6:40 AM or you will miss the shuttle)

10K - 6:45 AM - 6:55 AM (DO NOT arrive at 6:55 AM or you will miss the shuttle)

The Bridger Park Garage is located between Tracy and Black, which is just one block from the bus pickup.

Refunds are not offered. If you are unsure about attending the race, we encourage you to wait to sign up. We have a large participant cap, which allows you to register at your convenience any time leading up to the race date. In the event we approach our race cap and become subject to selling out, you will be notified in advance.

Deferrals are not accepted beginning 1 month before the event date. If you would like to request a deferral before this time, they are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our team at bozemanmarathon@gmail.com

Transfers are not allowed.

​Airport: (BZN) Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport is located just 15-20 minutes from downtown Bozeman.

Lodging: There are several lodging options available for booking. The closest and most convenient location is the Element Hotel, where packet pickup is located. For 2024, we are working on securing a special booking discount at the Element Hotel. We will publish information as it is finalized.

However, there are additional lodging options available downtown and throughout the surrounding valley.

Transportation: The Streamline Bus provides free transportation throughout select areas in Bozeman.

The Half Marathon and 10K events put forth an extensive effort, working alongside the City of Bozeman and other professional safety personnel, to ensure your safety as a participating runner and keep our valley free of any litter.

Unfortunately, we are unable to fully close the courses to traffic. However, the courses are heavily marked with cones, entrances from side streets are blocked off, and safety personnel are located throughout. We kindly ask that you follow some simple steps below:

1. Race to the right - since one lane remains open, please be cautious and avoid the center lane lines.

2. Indicate your intent to pass, especially in crowded sections or with strollers. A verbal “on your left” as you pass can go a long way!

3. Pack your trash - if you consume a gel or other sports snack, pack it with you until you can properly dispose of it at an aid station/trash can. Do not throw your trash onto the ground along the course.

4. Stay aware - Observe your surroundings and be alert. Headphones are strongly discouraged, unless they are open-ear and you are still able to hear your surroundings.

We will not be offering 2024 discounts for any event.
