About the Flathead Lake Run
The course follows the shoreline of Flathead Lake through Volunteer Park, staying close to the water the whole way. Several distance options make it work for different legs in the same group. The route is flat and runs along the lake edge, so the view is present for most of the morning rather than just at a turnaround point.
Complimentary locally roasted coffee and fruit are out before the races start, and an awards announcement follows once everyone is across the line. Packet pickup and bib collection happen on-site at the park before the first wave goes off, so there is no separate trip the day before.

The Flathead Lake Run has been held every year since at least 2016. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
