Held in the heart of Montana winter, the Snow Joke Half Marathon 2026 sends runners on a 13.1-mile loop around Seeley Lake, where the challenge isn’t the hills but the elements. Expect plowed but snow-packed roads, frozen stretches, and temperatures that can bounce from bright winter sun to heavy snowfall in minutes. The course is gently rolling and thoroughly scenic, lined with pines and mountain views, creating the kind of rustic, no-frills race experience that makes this event a regional favourite. With a friendly, old-school vibe and a welcoming community of cold-weather runners, it’s more about grit and good spirits than chasing a PR.
