Come support Cancer Support Community Montana at their annual fun run to support Pediatric Cancer!

Sunday, March 1st- 11am start

We have both 5k and 1 mile races!

Plenty of fun, food and a raffle following the Fun Run! Free hot dog and chips!

With your participation in this event, you will be supporting the families of the children right here in Montana that have been diagnosed with pediatric cancer.

Cancer Support Community Montana (CSCMT) is a 501c3 non-profit organization based in Bozeman, Montana, and part of the national Cancer Support Community network. Established in 2004, CSCMT has a long history of providing support for those impacted by cancer in Montana. Now with two thriving chapters in Bozeman and Missoula and a chapter in development in Helena, CSCMT delivers over 60 programs and classes a month to individuals and families impacted by cancer across the state. Best of all, these services are always completely free of charge, and they are offered in-person, online and in a hybrid platform – all with laughter, joy, connection and hope.

In 2025, Cancer Support Community Montana took on the mission of the Lightwell Foundation, a pediatric cancer organization serving the Gallatin Valley. As a result, CSCMT established a dedicated Pediatric Cancer Fund to support children with cancer and their families across the state. Because most pediatric oncology care requires out-of-state treatment, families often face overwhelming travel and lodging costs. This fund helps reduce those financial barriers so children can access the care they need.

With that said, your support is still critical to helping these families, and it is our sincere hope that you will participate in this super fun event! We will be meeting at the Rocking R Bar in downtown Bozeman. In person registration will open at 10am and the race will then kick off at 11am with the start being BEHIND the R Bar in the alley!

Thank you so much to our incredible sponsors of this event: Old Mill Homes, Bozeman Running Company, Rocking R Bar, and Hail Mary's

    The Headwaters Relay is a 3 day, team run, team-supported, adventure race that goes through the backcountry of Montana. There are no aid stations. The exchange points are not marked and are found by following written leg descriptions. Legs very in difficulty and terrain, and range from 1 to 6 miles. Each day has a definitive start and end point, and overall team time is a compilation of cumulative time from all legs. Runners do not run through the night. Every team runner must run a minimum of one leg per day.

    ​

    Due to Forest Service permits, we are limited to a field of 26 teams, with preference given to teams that ran the previous year. Team size ranges from 4 to 10 runners.

    ​

    Team size:

    ULTRA TEAM 3-5 Runners ($1000 per team)

    STANDARD TEAM 6-10 runners ($1500 per team)

    ​

    Teams choose their own name

    Teams must have one designated team captain

    Teams are responsible for their own support and aid along the way, including liquids, food, navigation, and anything else to keep their runners going.

    A maximum of 2 support vehicles per team allowed on the route one must be high clearance

    Each runner is required to run a minimum of one leg each day of the Relay

    Teams determine who runs which leg. Each team must complete all the designated legs

    Once a runner begins a leg, he/she should complete it. If a runner cannot complete a leg for whatever legitimate reason (e.g., medical condition), then another runner from the team must complete their leg

    Teams must run the legs in succession(i.e., one at a time), not two or more at a time (concomitantly)
