The Trail Rail Run will have options of a 50 Mile team relay, 50 Mile Hand Cyclist or individual race lengths of 50 Mile, 50K, 30K, 12K, or 5K. The various race lengths begin along the abandoned Northern Pacific Railroad and Milwaukee Railroad grades tracking from Mullan, Idaho and ending in St, Regis, Montana. The beginning of the 50-mile course follows the historic state line. The route then tracks over two breathtaking historical train trestles and dives under two tunnels. The final portions of the course parallel and weave along the scenic St. Regis River before everyone finishes at the St. Regis Community Park with visiting, music, delicious free food and beer!
All participants will receive a t-shirt, individual 50-Mile runners will receive a finishers jacket as long as they are registered on or before April 10th. Trail Rail Run will make every effort to provide individual, 50-Mile Finishers a jacket, however, any registration after April 1st, will not be guaranteed a jacket.
Proceeds will support the further improvement of the trail and the surrounding community!
The Trail Rail Run is an event brought to you in part by St. Regis Community Center, USDA Forest Service, Lolo NF, Superior Ranger District, and is sanctioned by USA Track & Field.

I really enjoyed this mostly downhill 53K. The first part of the course was an out and back which went up and over a railroad trestle and then through a tunnel. The rest of the course was a gradual downhill along the St. Regis River. There were plenty of well-stocked aid stations spaced an average of 4 miles apart, with an opportunity to have a drop bag at about the half-way point. I wore a well-used pair of trail shoes for the first half, but switched to my more comfortable road shoes at the half-way point. At two of the aid stations, we had to take a detour into one of the small towns, which added an extra two miles to the “50K.” The 50K finishers received a custom Fruit-of-the-loom hoodie and the 50 mile finishers were given a Patagonia Houdini jacket. All finishers received a finisher’s award consisting of a railroad spike with an engraved plate commemorating the finish. There was plenty of food and free local beer at the finish which was at a city park. It is one of the few ultras in Montana that isn’t just for the advanced ultrarunners.
