Parking is available at the MSU Football Stadium and the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. No parking is permitted at the Museum of the Rockies or on South 7th Ave to the south of Kagy Blvd. Kagy Blvd will be closed between South 7th and South 11th the same as during Bobcat football games. Traffic detours will be in effect in similar fashion. 

Partial course changes have been made from last year for both the 5K and 10K by eliminating the Connector Trail bottleneck (south of the Museum) near the start of the race. Please see below.

5K Course : Start/Finish at Museum of the Rockies parking lot. Run north out of parking lot to Kagy Blvd. Turn right (east) on Kagy Blvd and turn right (south) at traffic light onto South 3rd Ave. Runners must stay to the right side of the road within the orange cones! Continue south past junction of South 3rd Ave and Wagon Wheel Rd (mile 0.95). Proceed south onto Wagon Wheel Rd and pass water station at mile 1.55. Follow Wagon Wheel as it curves west to the junction with South 3rd Ave (mile 1.75). Turn right (north) on South 3rd Ave and continue to the junction with West Graf St (mile 2.35). Runners must stay to the right side of the road within the orange cones! Turn right (east) on West Graf and then make quick turn left (north) on Westridge Dr. Continue north on Westridge for 0.45 miles and then turn left onto the South 7th Connector Trail (mile 2.8). Take the Connector Trail diagonally northwest to South 7th Ave and turn right (north) on South 7th Ave. Proceed north for 0.2 miles and turn right into the west parking lot entrance of the Museum of the Rockies. Sprint to the Finish Line in the Museum’s east parking lot!

Note:   1) This course is a “Montana 5K”, not a certified 5K. Actually, it measures 3.24 miles. Like us race committee members, we know you’d prefer to run a bit longer than shorter. Afterward, have another piece of apple pie – guilt free! For obsessive runners like us who track split times, we will mark the exact 5K point of the course.

2) A water station will be located on Wagon Wheel Rd at mile 1.55. Also, there will be plenty of refreshments at the Finish Line area. Enjoy!

3) We need to emphasize the importance for all participants to stay to the right side of the road within the orange cones along the stretch of South 3rd Ave from Kagy Blvd south to Wagon Wheel Rd (1st half of the course), and along the stretch of South 3rd Ave from Wagon Wheel Rd north to West Graf St (2nd half of the course). We ask this for your safety and to be compliant with the City of Bozeman’s requirements. Be safe and have fun!
