The Experience

Since its first run in 2014, Pub 317's Run to the Pub has grown into a beloved Bozeman tradition, drawing around 500 finishers from 32 states each year. About a third of runners return, a testament to the race's charm. Runner's World ranked it the No. 2 'Must Run' half marathon in the country.

The loop course begins and ends on Main Street in downtown Bozeman, winding through a few rolling hills and offering scenic views of the surrounding landscape. It's a road race that balances a fun challenge with a festive atmosphere.

The real draw is the post-race party, where finishers celebrate with a pint glass, a bottle-opener medal, and a chance to win a trip to Dublin, Ireland. With a long-sleeve shirt, generous swag, and strong community support, this race is a destination event worth traveling for.
