The Snow Joke Half Marathon is an annual winter running event held in Seeley Lake, Montana. The 2027 edition marks the 48th running of this popular Western Montana winter tradition.

The race challenges participants to complete a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) half-marathon course through the beautiful winter surroundings of Seeley Lake. Known for its cold-weather conditions and fast-running course, the event attracts runners who enjoy outdoor fitness challenges and winter sports.

The race begins and finishes at Seeley Lake Elementary School, with the official start scheduled for 11:00 AM. Participants receive a custom race bib, chip timing and a finisher medal. Post-race celebrations include pancakes with toppings, refreshments and an opportunity for runners and spectators to gather after the competition.

The event also supports the local community, with proceeds benefiting Seeley Lake Elementary School and the local ski team. Dogs are welcome on the course under the organisers’ leash and cleanup rules.

The race is open to registered participants, with entries capped at 750 runners.
