Run for the River 5K Race Description

The Run for the River 5K is a unique race to benefit the Bitter Root Water Forum, a locally driven non-profit that brings the community together to protect, enhance, and restore the watershed we all rely on.

A Friday evening run, the race begins and ends in Hamilton's River Park.
