“The marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything. It has drama. It has competition. It has camaraderie. It has heroism. Every jogger can’t dream of being an Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon.” Fred Lebow, road racing pioneer and founder of the New York City Marathon. The Montana Marathon proudly supports the athletes of Special Olympics. The marathon championship also supports the running athletes of Montana State University-Billings, and Rocky Mountain College, Billings, Montana. The Montana Marathon also gives back to the running community by establishing the “Shoe Fund”, to help any underprivileged middle and high school student succeed in cross country and track and field. They are the future.
