Whitefish Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming finish
Runners will face a temperature range starting at 49°F and climbing to 64°F by the end. With light winds from the SE, runners should focus on maintaining a steady pace, especially as the temperature rises in later laps. Humidity at 60% suggests hydration will be key, so frequent water intake is advisable. Given the possibility of light rain before the race, a light throwaway layer may be useful during the pre-race wait.

Race Info
The Whitefish Marathon starts and finishes at Depot Park in Whitefish, Montana, with the marathon, half marathon and 5K beginning together before the shorter distances split off. The USATF-certified marathon course was revised in 2023 to reduce overall elevation change over its second half and add views along Whitefish Lake, and it serves as a Boston Marathon qualifier. The race has won the Road Runners Club of America's Marathon State Championship designation four times and draws runners from more than 30 states each year. At the 2026 running, Philip Henry of Gillette, Wyoming won the men's marathon in 2:47:14 while Scarlet Kaplan of Whitefish set a women's course record of 3:03:05.
