A long-time club favorite! Runs follow trails in the trees along Middle Cottonwood Creek, on the west side of the Bridger Mountains! Come enjoy running the hills with us!
Middle Cottonwood trailhead is north of Bozeman – take Springhill Road north of the Interstate, and turn right onto Toohey Road. At the end of Toohey, turn right onto Walker Road, which will bend back left (east) and become Saddle Mountain Road. Continue on Saddle Mountain (do NOT turn onto Middle Cottonwood Lane – it does not lead to the trailhead!) until it makes a 90-degree bend to the left (north); go north across the creek, then turn right onto the continuation of Saddle Mountain Road, which leads to the trailhead parking.
Please consider carpooling to this event, as the trailhead parking lot is limited. Carpooling will be from the NE corner of the Fairgrounds parking lot, west of the baseball stadium and across Oak from The Cannery District. We will plan to leave from the carpool location at 5:30, as it’s a ways out to the start point.

Fun Run - Lower Mount Ellis
2025-07-23 18:30 - 20:00 | Lower Mount Ellis, Mt Ellis Ln, Bozeman, MT, 59715, United States
The Lower Mt. Ellis trail begins by crossing a large open field with a steady incline (bikers, take note: it’s a bit of a grunt). At the top of the field is treeline, where an old logging road takes you up and around to the east side of the mountain. After a couple miles and a few switchbacks, the logging road takes a hard left, and a single-track trail continues up the flank of the mountain—straight up, mind you. After gaining a knoll, the final ascent gets even steeper, eventually topping out on a limestone outcropping with sweeping views of Triple Tree below, the Gallatin Valley beyond, and mountain ranges in all directions. If you’re not too pooped, continue south along the ridge to Mt. Ellis.

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.
