🏃♀️ Join Us for the 45th Anniversary of the QB Montana Marathon!
The QB Montana Marathon is famous for being a FAST and beautiful Boston qualifier course! While the first ten miles feature scenic rolling green hills, the final 16 treat you to a loss of 1,000 vertical feet.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES: For the safety of all participants
- Strollers: Strollers are not permitted on the Marathon or Half Marathon Courses.
- Dogs: Dogs are not permitted on any of the race courses.
