    Camp Māk-A-Dream is a 501c3 non-profit organization that relies on funds donated - and raised - by generous individuals. Many people who have either been a participant or volunteer in the past, experienced cancer in their own lives, or find fulfillment through helping others contribute towards making Camp's cost-free programs possible by raising funds for our organization.

    Camp Māk-A-Dream is located in western Montana but draws participants and volunteers from all across the U.S. and even abroad. Since opening its doors in 1995, Camp has welcomed over 10,000 individuals diagnosed with, or affected by, cancer. Each week of camp is provided cost-free to participants and relies in great part to the generous support of invididual donors like YOU!

    Whether it's running in the Boston Mararthon, holding a virtual event, choosing to use a birthday, anniversary or milestone event to raise funds for a charitable cause...it all adds up and makes a week at Camp Māk-A-Dream possible for hundreds of deserving people each year.

    Thank you for considering a gift to one of our Camp Māk-A-Dream ambassadors....they are part of our extended Camp family and could not do this work without their efforts and your donations.

    This race takes place in Missoula, in March. What does that mean for participants? It means you never know what kind of weather we're going to have or what the weather will decide to drop on the streets as it passes through (i.e., snow sleet, rain, etc.). Be prepared for potentially slippery surfaces, potholes (watch for puddles), uneven surfaces, and loose sand and gravel! We will include more specific recommendations in accordance with the weather in our pre-race notes email, the day before the race.

    After your 5k or 7 miler, join us inside the Culinary Building for some post-race food and beverage!

    Back for 2026 by unpopular demand, the Missoula Beer Mile returns!

    Do you make bad choices? Are you maybe susceptible to peer pressure? Have you never understood why Tuesday Track is not also a Thirsty Thursday? If that sounds like you, you should come out to the Missoula Beer Mile! With official timing and scoring via FinishLynx - the same system used at the legendary Hayward Field - but run on a dirt track to keep things fitting for a race in Montana.

    The festivities will start at 6:45, with races starting at 7:00 or whenever the race director thinks it's time to start. Then for folks who are still standing, a trip to Flippers for Rainiers on the race director.

    Stick around after the mile for a cigarette 400 - run one lap all out while finishing a cigarette of choice in memory of Koby Pederson. He's not dead yet, but we still will all burn a drunk heater to lock back in to hit the bars and honor the founder of Missoula Run Club.

    Don't drink beer? Think N/A beer is a cop out? We've got a division for you - drink 5% regulation beer-mile beers, Athletic Brewing, Kombucha, Cream Soda, La Croix, anything really - just come with 4 of them and racing flats and good vibes.

    Events are free to run, but BYOB. If you're too broke for a six pack, shoot the RD an email for an application to the diversity scholarship.
