Kids Running Camp

Half marathon & 30K

Great Views. Challenging Course. Unforgettable Experience.

The Skyline Races Half Marathon and 30K brings runners to the top of Billings’ legendary Rimrocks for a race like no other. Experience Montana’s wide-open beauty on a paved path of moderate elevation changes that makes it ideal for both competitive athletes and first-time half-marathoners or 30K participants. Featuring breathtaking views of the Yellowstone Valley and the Beartooth Mountains, the Skyline Trail section travels along a sandstone ridge, offering sweeping panoramic views. Runners then connect to Skyway Drive, a newer path with gentle curves, rolling hills, open terrain, and distant mountain backdrops. Both distances loop into the Alkali Creek Trail, following a shaded stretch along the creek before heading back toward the finish line at Two Moon Park.

Why We Race

STAMPEDE is more than a competition — it’s a chance to support wildlife, conservation, and community.

A portion of all proceeds goes directly to ZooMontana's on-site Veterinary Clinic, helping provide crucial medical care for the animals that call the zoo home.

Wild & Well: A New Era of Animal Care begins with building an Animal Health Center. This building will not only allow us to provide comprehensive veterinary care on-site, but will also create opportunity for educational partnerships for our community. We are thrilled to break ground, but we can't do it without your help. This campaign has raised $1.9 million of our $3.9 million goal. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference for our animals, community, and the future of ZooMontana. Consider donating to our capital campaign to help us build this facility!
