Dog Days Ultra

ABOUT

RACE ORGANIZERS

The Dog Days Ultra race series is a passion project of Run Wild Missoula and its trail advocacy and stewardship arm, the Montana Trail Crew.

 
     

LAND STEWARDSHIP

Montana Trail Crew and its parent organization, Run Wild Missoula, are committed to being good stewards of the land and keeping Montana’s outdoor spaces, communities, residents and visitors safe. We have a long history of land stewardship through financial giving, membership/participant education and trail work. Dog Days Ultra is held on land managed by Missoula County and shared by all kinds of recreational users, but recreating responsibly should be a priority throughout the landscape. We hope you enjoy the course, but leave it as you found it!

    • Leave No Trace – Pack your garbage out and dispose of it properly, stay on marked trails, respect wildlife and be considerate of others.
    • Trail work days – Participants will be advised of local trail work days in the spring and fall and encouraged to volunteer. Trail work is not required to register for the race.

OTHER RUN WILD MISSOULA TRAIL RACES & ULTRAS

First Sunday in June – 10K & Half Marathon

Kick off summer trail racing with this iconic Missoula race!

  • The Pengelly Double Dip Course is a tall half marathon+ with 3,400 ft of elevation gain; very challenging and always worth it!
  • The Bob Hayes Single Dip Course is probably the toughest first mile of a 10K that you’ll ever do. After that, it ain’t so bad, and gives you the best views in town!

Want to up your epic day? Run the Supernova – two laps of the Pengelly Double Dip course – for a full mountain marathon with nearly 7,000 feet of elevation gain.

Third Sunday in October – 25K & 50K

These unique trail races finishes in Missoula’s University District featuring less than 2 miles of pavement and some of the smoothest single track in Montana. Both races highlight the best of Missoula’s iconic open space, conservation lands and recreation areas.

  • The 50K features multiple mountain summits totaling 8,000 feet of elevation gain over 33 miles, circumnavigating the Pattee Creek watershed.
  • The 25K runs the back half of the 50K on the incredible House of Sky Ridgeline Trail.
