Mntwi l Nłʔay Half Marathon (virtual)

Run Wild Missoula is honored to offer a virtual Half Marathon with 100% of race proceeds going to All Nations Health Center; to deepen our commitment to learning more about and supporting our local Indigenous communities. Run/Walk 13.1 miles during the month of September and submit your results by 11:59 PM MST.

We have been in communication with members from the Tribal History & Ethnography Projects Séliš-Ql̓ispé Culture Committee of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes. They have presented us with our race name, Mntwi l Nłʔay (Man-to-e el En-th-a-eye) which translates to, Running-in-Place-of-Small-Bull-Trout (Missoula).

Run Wild Missoula acknowledges that we are in the homelands of the Salish and Kalispel people. Today, we offer our respect for their history and culture, for their ancient and continuing presence in this landscape, and for the path they have shown us in caring for this place for the generations to come.
