The Experience

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.  Schedule 9:30-Registration/Packet Pickup Begins  11:00-Race Begins 2:00-Awards   Course Start and Finish at the Mission Valley Aquatic Center on Ridgwater Drive Polson, MT. Its a large clockwise loop. Start on Ridgewater, turn right onto bike bath heading south. Follow bike path until you make a right turn onto Reservoir Rd. This road was just repaved with lines and a bike lane. Its almost too smooth. Hopefully you enjoy it. Continue on Reservoir until it meets Back Road. Turn Right heading North on Back Rd.   Back Road becomes Kerr Damn and your will have a 1 mile plus gentle downhill into town. Continue on road as it curse right and becomes 7th avenue. There is no other options really other than going straight into the river, don't do that. Continue straight east on 7th Ave through town. There will be no road closures and cars will not be stopping for you, keep your head up and obey traffic rules. Just before the road starts climbing a hill turn left onto the bike path. Follow the bike path all the way back to Ridgwater. Take a Right on Ridgewater and return to MVAC.    PARKING NO Parking in the Mission Valley Aquatic Center. All parking for the race will be at the soccer fields behind the pool. Drive past the pool on Ridgewater, turn right and go into large gravel lot behind the pool.      The FULL MONTANA FROZEN FOOL Complete the SBT1/2 in January. Complete the Snow Joke in February. Send me an email with your results. I will send you a personalized custom made FULL MONTANA FROZEN FOOL award commemorating your frozen achievement.
