The Experience
Run to the Pub may sound like a lark, but this Bozeman half marathon has serious credentials. Voted by Runner's World as the No. 2 'Must Run' half in the country, the race draws around 500 finishers from 27 states each March for a 13.1-mile jaunt that ends—naturally—at a downtown pub. With a 25% repeat-runner rate and 15 editions under its belt, it's an institution in the making.
The course starts at Pub 317 on Main Street and winds through Bozeman's tree-lined streets and open stretches, with the Gallatin Range often visible on the horizon. The late-winter weather hovers around freezing, so layers are key. The real payoff? A frosty pint at the finish line and a chance to win a trip to Dublin, Ireland.
The event also includes a 10K for those not ready for the full half, and the post-race party at the pub keeps runners lingering long after their final mile. Whether you're chasing a personal best or just a good excuse to visit Montana, Run to the Pub delivers a uniquely convivial race-day experience.
