Buffalo Run 2026 – Set for Saturday, July 11th, 2026!

The Buffalo Run is part of the fun, family-oriented St. Ignatius Good Old Days event and is hosted by St. Luke Community Healthcare as a way to give back to the community and the St. Ignatius Chamber of Commerce! The 1-mile fun run (walk/run), 4-mile run, and 7-mile run all start promptly at 8 a.m. on Main Street in front of Gambles Hardware (112 N. Main Street, St. Ignatius, MT 59865). While each run takes a different route, they all end back at the same start line, and the course will be marked.

ENTRY DEADLINES: Regular rates are available until July 9th. All entries after that date will be considered same-day registrations. You can sign up online here or complete and return a paper registration form. Family rates are available if you sign up online. T-shirts are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We cannot guarantee exact sizing, but we will do our best! Same-day registration shirts will be limited to the supply available on race day. Formal same-day registrations will be cut off at 7:30 a.m. the morning of the race, so volunteers can properly assist all race participants. You can still pay cash or check to run your race and buy a shirt, your run just won’t be timed. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

For more information or if you have questions, please contact Whitney Liegakos at 406-528-5262 or email [email protected].

We’re excited to see you at the event!

Proceeds benefit the St. Ignatius Chamber of Commerce

    Overview:

    This is a great race to start your triathlon or duathlon racing career or as a family adventure. The triathlon is in open water, but wet suits are not necessary as the water is a reasonable temperature. Distances for adults is Mini - 150 yds, Short - 300 yards, Long - 600 yards. The running course is mostly on a trail shaded with giant old growth Western Larch trees - 3 miles. The bike ride is on a combination of paved county road, dirt road and trails - 7.8 miles. All racers are chipped including the kids and finish times are immediately available for printing and on devices.

    Registration: At the venue, Riverpoint Campground Day Use area, from 2-5pm on Friday and 7-8:45 on Saturday. T-shirts will be distributed for those registering before July 15 at these times.

    Everyone must park at Pyramid Mountain Lumber. There is no parking at the race site, and parking on Boy Scout or the neighbors driveways is not allowed. You may drop-off racers or spectators at the end of the road and they can walk or bike in and then park at Pyramid and either bike back to Riverpoint Campground or ride the shuttle.

    We hope everyone stays for the awards ceremony where the winners stand on Olympic style boxes and get their medal. A great photo op moment.

    Included in the racers fees are: parking, shuttle, T-shirt (if registered before July 15), race chip, snacks and medals for winners.

    Spectators: FREE spectator parking and shuttle. Please feel free to bring folding chairs. Spectators must STAY OUT of the transition area by using a trail from the spectator area at the finish line to the beach.

    Race Information: We have moved to a 3 second staggered start from the transition area starting at 9am. This has solved the congestion at the start of the race and since everyone is chipped there is no penalty for when you start. Everyone doing either the Triathlon or the Duathlon or participating as a team lines up by preference. All racers are chipped including the kids and finish times are immediately available for printing and on devices.

    The Kids Triathlon starts when most of the adults have completed the course so families can watch approximately 11am. The kids use the outside of the swimming area bouys as their course. They can stop and hold on if they need to, and life vests are acceptable. Parents may follow along INSIDE the buoys. The bike ride is on the first half of the adult run trail for 8 and under and the entire adult run trail for 9-12. The run is an out and back, to the campground road entrance for 8 and under and to the venue entrance for 9-12. They cross the same finish line as the adults.

    Welcome Back Runners!! This is the 14th Running!!!

    The Sorry 'Bout That 1/2 Marathon and Team Relay is back for 2027. Hopefully it will be above freezing this year on race day, but not by much.

    The course will be clockwise this year, meaning a uphill start start and uphilll finish, with the large downhill in the middle miles. Two aide stations and one portajohn will be on the course. Clockwise means it goes the direction of an old clock with hands. All turns on the course are to the right except for one. Free Finisher Medals with entry and finish. If you enter the race and don't run you will not get a medal

    This year T shirts are extra cost. I have been informed by the accountants that the race can not afford to keep losing money every year. T shirt option was turned off on 12/29/2026.

    Wear a costume get a :30 second head start.

    Packet Pickup is same day only.
