About the Event

Welcome to the Montana Meltdown Fixed Time Event, an exhilarating endurance challenge set against the stunning backdrop of Gallatin Valley Regional Park in Bozeman, Montana. This unique race offers participants three distinct options: 24 hours, 12 hours, and 4 hours, each designed for runners looking to push their limits on a scenic 1.5-mile loop course.
