Route information
The course runs along the Eastern border of Glacier National Park. You'll climb for the first 5 miles and then it's all downhill from there. Along the way, you'll be rewarded with incredible views of Glacier National Park and the prairies at its base as you climb Looking Glass Hill. You'll gaze at Two Medicine Lake during miles 5-8 and you'll finish on the front lawn of the beautiful and historic Glacier Park Lodge.
Factors:
5 mile incline stretch, high elevation course
Training:
We recommend training on pavement with a steady, prolonged incline. In addition, consider arriving to the event a few days early to acclimate to the elevation. Check out our training plan here: https://www.vacationraces.com/training/glacier/
Time Limit:
This course has a 4 hour time limit, which equals about 18.5 minutes per mile. Walkers are welcome and should keep this pace in mind to finish on time.
Location Note:
To be clear, this race doesn't take place inside the National Park. It's difficult to get permission to conduct private business activities on national land, and rightly so. Having said that, this is about as close to the park as it gets.

Getting to the Start
The campground is conveniently near the expo but it is NOT nearby the shuttle pickup for race day or the finish line. Please keep that in mind. You will need to park in Browning on race morning. From there, shuttles will bring you to the start line and back to Browning from the finish line to pick up your car.
Parking Lot:
Charging Home Stampede Park (Browning, MT)
Expo & Bib Pickup Location
Red Eagle Campground

Race Morning Parking & Shuttles
Parking and shuttles will be located at the Charging Home Stampede Park in Browning, MT on race morning.
Shuttles will return runners to the parking lot after the race. There is absolutely no parking or drop off at the start line or finish line.
*Note: There are no shuttle services from Glacier Park Lodge or the Vacation Races Campground (Red Eagle). Runners will need to drive/carpool to the parking lot in Browning in order to catch the shuttle to the start line.
Finish Line Staging
Shuttles will depart from the finish line at Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier Village back to the parking lot in Browning as runners finish the race.
At the finish line we will have a food box (full of recovery snacks), bananas, and chocolate milk. Please help yourself to one food box, chocolate milk, and banana per runner. There will be water at the finish line, but no cups. Please use your reusable cup or water bottle to fill up at the finish line.
In addition to the expo, the merchandise tent will be set up after the race near the finish line!
VR Campground
The most convenient (and most fun) place to stay during race weekend is our Vacation Races Campground! The Vacation Races campground will be located at Red Eagle Campground on the Blackfeet reservation at the south end of Lower Two Medicine Lake (off of Highway 49).
There is plenty of space for campers but keep in mind that this is primitive camping and will be treated like a large group site. You'll share fire pits with neighbors and make new friends!
Note: Runners who are camping will need to drive to the parking area in Browning to catch the shuttle to the start line race morning.
Check-in: Thursday 3-7 pm & Friday 11-7 pm
Need to arrive later? Settle in and find the camp manager the following morning to complete your check-in.
Check-out: 9:00 am Sunday*
Red Eagle Campground, East Glacier, MT (Off of Hwy 49)
*Your tent must be packed up and returned by 9:00 am on Sunday! This is a strict check-out time.
