Registration

Prices are listed on the Registration Page

Please carry your own bottle in order to utilize water or HEED at aid stations. There will be NO CUPS

Race Bibs and Packets

Race bibs can be picked up starting at 7:30 a.m. on race day.  Swag bags, including give away stuff from sponsors will be handed out to racers at the end as they complete the race.

Kids’ Race

At 11:30 am, we will provide an informal kids’ race for those under the age of 13.  There is no charge for this race.  Bibs will be provided but there will be no official timing.  We will recognize the top 3 racers of each gender.  Kids will get stickers with the Herron Half Logo and perhaps some extra “swag” for completing the race.

Parking

Parking is available in the main Herron parking lot, with many helpers guiding you to your spot in order to optimize the space we have.  Additional parking is available in the stable parking lot, past the main Herron lot on the right side. Please look for the bright color vests of volunteers assisting with parking. We are expecting the same large number of participants this year, which will fill all parking areas, so PLEASE CARPOOL!

Dogs

Herron Park is part of the Flathead County Parks & Recreation system, and please follow county rules regarding dogs: spectator dogs must be leashed and cleaned up after. Sorry, no dogs allowed in the races.

Walkers/Hikers

There has been a growing interest in walking/fast hiking these courses. The 5k is the best fit for walkers as it takes about 60-90 minutes to walk. However, for the 10k and Half Marathon courses, walkers’ and fast hikers’ finish time will likely extend beyond the ~1 p.m. clean up time for this event. If you are interested in walking/fast hiking the longer courses, please let the Race Director (brian@runflathead.com) know and show up early (7:30 a.m.) on the day of the event. We may have you start your race early and adjust your finish time accordingly.

Volunteers

We can’t do it without all of the great volunteers!  Please contact the Race Director (brian@runflathead.com) if you would be willing to help with any of the many tasks, such as staffing an aid station, directing cars toward parking options, helping with registration, giving out awards, marking the course ahead of time, directing racers at tricky intersections, or taking down the course afterwards. Go to Run Sign Up page under the drop down menu, “More” then “Volunteer” to see what areas still need helpers.

Awards Ceremony

We’ll make it quick, but we also want to give the overall and age group winners their time in the spotlight.  In addition, we will give away lots of cool stuff donated by our sponsors by random drawing to race participants sticking around to the end of the awards ceremony. This will be held after the kids’ race.

Don't forget to support the sponsors who helped the race with monetary support and/or in-kind donations:
