Little Blackfoot

The Little Blackfoot is a trail running event held on July 18, 2026, near Elliston, Montana. The start area is located on Little Blackfoot River Road, near Kading Campground. The race offers two distances: 15 km and 30 km.

Both courses follow an out-and-back route from the same start line. All participants begin together, running along the road before dropping onto a trail that leads toward the Little Blackfoot Meadows trailhead. The route includes two wooden bridges over a creek. For the 15 km distance, the turnaround point is at Blackfoot Meadows, after which runners return directly to the start/finish area.

Participants in the 30 km race will also run to Blackfoot Meadows and back to the start area. They then continue the race by crossing the road and ascending the Kading Grade trail. This section climbs to the top of the Continental Divide before runners return to the start/finish line.
