1200’ Net Drop
**Exciting New Course Announcement!**
A Faster, Smoother, and Wicked Fast New Course!
We’ve moved the Wicked Fast Marathon & Half Marathon Montana back to its original roots — and it’s now 90% paved and wicked fast! Runners will start on Mill Creek Road, glide through Prey Road and Clark Lane, and then fly down the stunning East River Road, finishing at the Pine Creek Fishing Access on the banks of the Yellowstone River. With a 1,200-foot net drop from start to finish, this lightning-quick course is built for speed and scenery — and because it’s under the 1,500-foot limit, there’s no Boston Athletic Association (BAA) time penalty. Enjoy Montana’s breathtaking Yellowstone Country, chase your BQ or PR, and experience why this is truly Montana’s fastest marathon and half marathon course.
