Whitefish Trail Blazer Wrap Up!

We would like to thank all the runners, event sponsors, and spectators who helped make the 2025 Whitefish Trail Blazer a huge success! We had 639 registrants across all race distances and hundreds of volunteers and spectators! Whether it was running to the summit of Big Mountain, down to Reservoir Trailhead and back to the Village in the 50k or running with family and friends in the Family Fun Run, it was a weekend of lovely autumn weather, fall foliage, and a celebration of our local trails.

Huge thank you to our presenting sponsor, Flathead Running Company for bringing their expertise and excitement to this event! Additional thanks to our major event sponsors SK Farm Wetland Restoration LLC, Ortho Rehab Physical Therapy and Weyerhaeuser as well as event sponsors Tamarack Cannabis, Explore Whitefish, and the Flathead Beacon.

Thank you to Colton Born for his fun videos (Saturday Video, Sunday video) and Saturday photos and to Lachelle Davis-Monett for her Sunday photos of the weekend!

Thank you Whitefish Mountain Resort for hosting Saturday's 50k, and it was great to be back at Stillwater Mountain Lodge on Sunday where we started the Whitefish Legacy Run in 2011! We are so grateful to our business sponsors for their help in putting on another successful community event and supporting conservation, recreation and education on the Whitefish Trail!

Congratulations to our top five male and female finishers in Saturday's 50k event!
