Celebrate Every Step with 406 Race Series 

If you’ve ever crossed a finish line with a sweaty smile, a high-five, and a spark of pride in your chest, you already understand the magic of a good race.  At 406 Race Series, that magic is the heart and soul of everything they do. This small, woman-owned business isn’t just about race bibs and time chips, it’s about celebrating movement, community, and the little victories that add up to something unforgettable. 

What started as a passion project has become a cornerstone of the local running scene, with events that welcome everyone from elite athletes to first-time 5K finishers. Their motto? If you’re moving, you belong here. Whether you’re lacing up for the legendary Montana Marathon (celebrating its 45th anniversary this year!) or donning your best Halloween costume for the Great Masked Pumpkin Run, every event is crafted with care, creativity, and a sense of fun. 

And they don’t stop at adult runners, this crew knows how to get kids moving too! From the Little Buzz Run to the Kids Dash’n Pedal and Trail Trek, 406 Race Series events are all about encouraging young athletes to fall in love with being active. Picture a tiny runner zooming down the trail, grinning ear to ear, that’s what keeps this team inspired. 

They’re not just throwing a race; they’re throwing a party on the pavement (or trail). Expect funny signs like “Worst Parade Ever,” energizing music, cowbells, enthusiastic volunteers, and the kind of camaraderie that turns strangers into friends by mile three. Add in some epic swag and a post-race celebration, and you’ve got an experience that sticks with you long after the finish line. 

And when life throws in those unpredictable race-day curveballs, weather shifts, course changes, the occasional runaway balloon arch the 406 Race Series team handles it all with calm professionalism and a smile. Their goal is always the same: make sure every participant feels safe, supported, and celebrated. 

What makes them truly special? They care. They care about this community. They care about creating joy through movement. And they care about making sure every person who shows up, no matter how fast or how far they go, feels like a rock star. 

So, whether you’re chasing a new PR, just out for a jog in costume, or cheering on your little one in their first race ever, 406 Race Series is here to remind you: every finish line is a celebration.
