Get ready to run - or volunteer.

The Missoula Marathon will hold its 11th annual running next month and is ready to launch its weekend activities. Events include a Friday evening Beer Run, a Saturday Expo, a 5K and Kids Marathon, plus Sunday's full and half marathon.

Every year, participants share their appreciation for the support and enthusiasm they receive from the Missoula community, as well as the volunteers behind the Missoula Marathon.

Two races on Saturday, July 8 - including the Missoula Kids Marathon and Missoula 5K - and two races on Sunday, July 9 - including the Missoula Marathon and half marathon - provide ample opportunity for everyone to get involved in race weekend.

Volunteers have a wide variety of positions and times to chose from. Organizers invite people to be part of the weekend's fun and exciting event.

Volunteering for the Missoula Marathon is a great way to support you friends and neighbors. It's also a great way to show some big sky hospitality to participants from 50 states and nine countries.
