🎉 WHAT A WEEKEND! 🎉

The 14th Annual Trail Rail Run is officially in the books, and we are thrilled to share that we had our largest 50 Mile turnout in race history!

Yesterday began with runners loading buses before dawn and heading toward their starting lines as the sun rose over the mountains. From that moment on, it was a day filled with determination, community, and countless miles on the trail.

A heartfelt thank you to every runner who traveled to St. Regis and trusted us with your race day experience. Whether you tackled the 50 Mile, 50K, 30K, 12K, 5K, or joined a relay team, you helped make this year’s event one to remember.

To our volunteers, aid station crews, flaggers, bus drivers, sponsors, medical staff, community partners, and everyone working behind the scenes: thank you. This race simply would not happen without your dedication and support.

Seeing our biggest-ever 50 Mile turnout, watching runners achieve goals, and seeing our community come together reminds us why we continue to do this year after year.

We are incredibly grateful for everyone who helped make the 14th Annual Trail Rail Run such a success.

📸 Photos, race highlights, and more recaps are still to come!

For now, recover well, celebrate your accomplishment, and know how much we appreciate each and every one of you. I for one have been recovering today and am finishing it off hitting the trail myself to relax!

🚌 THANK YOU, ST. REGIS SCHOOL DISTRICT! 🚌

One of the most important pieces of race morning logistics is getting hundreds of runners safely to their start lines, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our local school district and community volunteers.

A huge thank you to St. Regis School District for allowing us to utilize school buses for the Trail Rail Run. Your continued partnership helps make this event possible and allows us to provide a smooth and safe experience for our runners.

Special thanks to Amy Lowry for coordinating our bus transportation and helping ensure all the moving pieces come together on race morning.

And a big thank you to Dan Park and Venus Smith for getting up early and serving as our race morning drivers. While most people are still sleeping, you’ll be helping runners reach the starting lines for what will be an unforgettable day on the trail.

Community events like the Trail Rail Run are only possible because of people who are willing to step up and help behind the scenes. We are incredibly grateful for your time, support, and commitment to making the 14th Annual Trail Rail Run a success.

Thank you for helping us keep runners moving and making race day happen! 🚂🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

✅ 50 MILES MARKED! ✅

Today was all about getting the course ready for race day, and I’m happy to report that all 50 miles of the Trail Rail Run course have officially been marked!

The trail pup and I spent the day bouncing, literally, down the trail, forest roads, and miles of beautiful Montana backcountry making sure runners know exactly where to go. Thank you for driving and tracking mileage Jordann! By the end of the day, we’re both dusty, tired, and ready for a good night’s sleep.

Tomorrow’s mission: signage, arrows, and all the final details that help make race day run smoothly.

It’s hard to believe we’re only days away from welcoming runners from across Montana and around the United States to St. Regis for the 14th Annual Trail Rail Run. There are still plenty of long days ahead, but seeing those pink markings stretch across the course makes it all start to feel real.

Now if you’ll excuse us, the trail pup and I have earned a shower and a nap. 🐾🏃‍♀️🚂

See you all on Saturday!
