Whitefish Marathon

The Whitefish Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K, presented by Hammer Nutrition, is a popular running event held in Whitefish, Montana, near Glacier National Park. Scheduled for May 16, 2026, it features three race distances: a marathon, half marathon, and a 5K called The Wave. All races start together at Depot Park and finish at the same location, with the 5K splitting off shortly after the first mile and the marathon and half marathon diverging at mile 13.

Known for its scenic mountain views and a festive post-race party, the event attracts over 1,600 runners from more than 30 states, making it one of Montana’s largest marathons and a favored "runcation" destination. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
