A partnership two years in the making! Thank you to the Bear Paw Marathon and good luck to all of the participants! Please enjoy our beautiful homelands.
A Heartfelt Thank You to the Chippewa Cree Tribe 💚
The Bear Paw Marathon is fortunate to run through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Montana, and this year, we are especially honored to begin our marathon course on the sacred Rocky Boy's Reservation.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Chippewa Cree Tribe for their partnership, hospitality, and willingness to welcome runners from across Montana and throughout the United States to this special place.
The Bear Paw Mountains hold deep cultural, historical, and natural significance. We recognize the privilege of sharing this landscape with our participants and are committed to treating it with the respect it deserves.
This partnership helps create an unforgettable experience for our runners while also showcasing the beauty, heritage, and spirit of this region to visitors from near and far.
On behalf of the Havre Chamber, our volunteers, and every participant who will stand at the starting line, thank you to the Chippewa Cree Tribe for helping make the 2026 Bear Paw Marathon possible.
We are grateful for your support and look forward to a memorable race day together. 💚
