Grateful Nation Montana's Freedom 5K Run/Walk

The Grateful Nation Montana's Freedom 5K Run/Walk is an annual event held in Bigfork, Montana, typically on July 4th. The race starts and finishes at Lake Baked bakery on Mill Street and follows an out-and-back course along the scenic Wild Mile Nature Trail and Bigfork Nature Trail. Open to all ages and abilities, the event fosters a community atmosphere where participants gather to honor Montana’s fallen military heroes and their families.

Competitive timing is provided, and finishers receive medals and cookies. Proceeds support educational scholarships for children of Montana’s fallen soldiers, with additional funds aiding the local high school cross country team. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
