Sentinel Hill Climb – Missoula, MT 2026
The Sentinel Hill Climb in Missoula starts at 6:00 PM, giving you flexibility to arrive in the afternoon after traveling. Held on May 6, 2026, this trail running event launches from the M Trail Parking Lot at the University of Montana and offers two distances: a 0.6-mile option and a 5-mile route. Both races tackle the same hillside terrain, so choose based on your fitness level and race goals. The evening start time means you'll want to plan your pre-race meal and warm-up accordingly, and bring a headlamp or light if you're unfamiliar with the trail after sunset.
