Fun Runs, discount codes and water haul announcements!

🏃🏼 Tonight's Fun Run is at 6:30 p.m. at The Lakes, using some of the newer trails in the Main Street to the Mountains system. Park in the Adam Bronken Soccer Complex parking lot at 4195 Durston Rd.

💵 Sweet Pea run has offered BSWDs a discount code for all runners! Simply enter BSWDxSweetPea for 20% off at checkout.

🗻 Reminder to log your miles for the GVLT Summer Trails Challenge under Big Sky Wind Drinkers! We dropped from 8th or 14th place in the last few days. Help us jump back to the top and show our support for and all they do.

💧 Finally, Darryl is hosting a water haul for the Bridger Ridge Run. Meet at the M trailhead on Saturday, June 13 at 6:00 a.m. Remember to check in with him before leaving wit ha jug so we can track how many made it up. The goal is 36 jugs to Baldy and 18 jugs to 1/2 way station. In his own words, hauling water "ABSOLUTELY" increases your odds of getting into the BRR lottery next year.

That's all for now—happy running!

Fun runs! Water hauls! We've got it all.

Tomorrow's fun run is at the MSU Track starting at 6:30 p.m. Named in memory of former board member Andy Blank, we'll have options for 1, 3 and 5 mile runs and all ages and abilities are welcome.

The year's first water haul is this Saturday, June 13. Meet at the M parking lot at 6:00 a.m. This first haul will focus on the Baldy and the halfway to Baldy water stations. If you were unlucky this year with the Ridge Run lottery, this is a great way to turn the odds in your favor for next year.

Thanks to all who came out for the Frank Newman marathon and half marathon! We had a hearty group of runners for the country's cheapest marathon, and amazing weather. Thank you to for covering the event and highlighting our hardworking race directors, Frank and Tracy Dougher.

“I love that it’s so small and there’s no bibs and there’s no hype. It’s just we line up and then it’s like, ‘ok go,’” runner Kari Collver said. We love that too.

The Frank Newman marathon is this Saturday. A Big Sky Wind Drinkers tradition, it's a local genuine grass-root event is organized with love by Tracy and Frank Dougher!

Option to run the entire course from Stone Creek to Sacajawea Park in Livingston, or either the uphill or downhill half. Marathoners and first half start at 8 a.m. at Stone creek, second half starts at 9:30 a.m. at the top of Bozeman Pass on Frontage Road. Still the cheapest marathon in the country at $20 (lunch included!) We'll party in Sacajawea Park afterwards and cheer the runners in. Unable to run? We'd love some more volunteers: https://winddrinkers.org/trailhead/fun_runs/volunteers/

You know the rules: run straight up, and then run straight back down, just like this banana. The Baldy Blitz is this Saturday, May 16 and registration is still open! With a strangely warm spring, the course is looking favorably clear, setting the stage for those looking to set a course record or personal best.

The Blitz is always a fun time. We have beer and prizes at the finish. Race registration is donated to

Our last winter fun run is this Saturday, April 4—Back from the M! We used to run it along Bridger Canyon Road but it's a bit too busy now to do that. Meet at Story Mill Park, we'll start at 9 a.m. sharp, and run 1, 3 or 5 miles down the M connector path. It looks like it'll be a beautiful day after all this snow.

Summer fun runs start May 6 and will be held each Wednesday; the first will be at Manhattan High School. All our fun runs are family-friendly and open to all ages and abilities!
