Foy's to Blacktail Trail Marathon

Kalispell, United States • 13 Jul 2025

The Foy's to Blacktail Trail Marathon is a challenging 26-mile point-to-point mountain trail race held in Kalispell, Montana. Featuring a newly designed all-single track course with over 5,000 feet of vertical gain, runners climb 2,800 feet in the first 5 miles to Blacktail Mountain's summit, followed by a gradual descent with additional climbs to the finish at Herron Park. Limited to 100 participants, the race requires carrying bear spray due to local wildlife presence. Five aid stations provide water and nutrition along the route. The event supports trail maintenance in the 34-mile Foy's to Blacktail Trail system and is part of the Flathead Race Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
