Missoula Marathon Course Clean-Up
8:30 AM  Run Wild Missoula
Description:
Saturday, June 30, 8:30 a.m., Park on Buckhouse Lane, next to Peak Health & Wellness, corner of Blue Mountain Rd and Highway 93
Folks, the Missoula Marathon is only a few short weeks away, and that also means it's the time of the year when we need to think about representing Montana, the City of Missoula, and the Missoula Marathon and Half Marathon courses as best we can to all runners, whether they live right around the corner from us, or travelling from any of the 50 States, Canada, and abroad to our wonderful three-day event.
On Saturday, June 30, at 8:30 a.m., we really need your help cleaning our stunning Missoula Marathon courses. However, if you look a little closer - I dare you - you'll find more than just beautiful flowers, the occasional wildlife, and lovely scenery. Nope, you'll find lots of garbage, which was carelessly thrown out of their vehicles in the past year! That is not how we want to showcase the Best Marathon in the country and the city in which we live and run.
In past years, we did what we could with the few people that actually showed up. The more volunteers we can get to help, the more miles we can clean, AND, the faster it will go.
Please, consider volunteering for an hour or two, on Saturday, June 30, at 8:30 a.m. at the start of the Missoula Half Marathon on Blue Mountain Rd, right next to The PEAK. But please don't park in their parking lot. Rather, park on Buckhouse Ln.
We'll provide big garbage bags, rubber gloves, refreshments, snacks, water, coffee, and fun times, of which you can be very proud. Ask your family, friends and neighbors to help, too. We will pick up the filled garbage bags from the side of the road. It is that simple.
To be best prepared, it's wise to wear long pants, long-sleeve t-shirt, shoes (sandals are not recommended), a hat, and heavier garden gloves.
The Missoula Marathon is counting on YOU!
