The holidays are here, and what better way to celebrate than with friends?

Bell Jog event this Saturday along the Gallagator Trail and Peet’s Hill, with options to extend your run into the
Painted Hills trail system and Triple Tree, for those looking to put in some longer distances!
Meet us at the GVLT office (212 S. Wallace – easiest to park in the Library parking lot and access the GVLT grounds from the east side) at 10 a.m. sharp (note the new, later start time!!)
Bring your jingliest and jolliest holiday bells, cow bells, bear bells, hand bells, bicycle bells … really
anything that makes noise to help ring in a great year of running, while also showing your appreciation
and support for GVLT and our amazing local land and trail partners.
If you don’t know much about GLVT, be sure to check out the great work they’re doing to maintain our
phenomenal trail systems and conserve our pristine landscapes here.
Afterward, join us for a cookie exchange! Bring along a plate of cookies to share and swap with others.
Bozeman Run Club and GVLT will also provide drinks and treats – it’ll be quite the party!
Trail options are as follows:

1 Mile Route
3 Mile Route
5 Mile Route
10 Mile Route
17 Mile Route

(Only the 1, 3, and 5 Mile Routes will be marked and timed!)
This IS a dog-friendly event, but if you bring your dog for the run, be aware that dogs must stay outside for this event, and will not be allowed in the building.
See you out there!

Winter Fun Run: Froze Nose Run
2026-02-07 09:00 - 11:00 | Bridger Brewing, 1609 S 11th Ave (Town & Country Complex Across From Brick Breeden Fieldhouse), Bozeman, MT, 59715, United States
Run the Froze Nose – get a handicapped start time for the March run, and see if you can improve enough to win!
Our February “Froze Nose” and March “Handicap” run are paired events. They are run on the same course, one month apart. The idea is to challenge yourself to improve your time between these two dates. Based on your run time in the Froze Nose, you will receive a time ‘handicap’ that will determine your start time for the March run – for example, if Runner 1 finishes 2 minutes ahead of Runner 2 at the Froze Nose, Runner 1 will start 2 minutes after Runner 2 at the Handicap Run; if both run the same time in March that they did in February, they would finish the March run at the same time. Thus, those who “win” in March will be the runners who improved their times the most, not necessarily the fastest runners in the field!
Runs will start and end in front of the Town & Country building on South 11th. Sign-ups for the run will be in front of Bridger Brewing (in the lobby, if the weather is bad).
We will offer 1-, 3-, and 5-mile courses. See the course maps below.
