Montana Trail Crew (MTC) was founded by a group of local trail runners in 2013 to promote Montana’s trail running community and provide a platform to organize and promote stewardship opportunities under the Big Sky. In 2017, MTC was incorporated into its current parent organization Run Wild Missoula.
Montana Trail Crew is“an educational and conservation-based organization for mountain and trail runners devoted to discovering the perfect single track trail, maintaining and improving access to open space, advocating for the preservation of wild lands, and cultivating a trail running community under the Big Sky.”
Montana Trail Crew works to maintain and preserve the trails in our community with various stewardship projects and volunteer opportunities hosted throughout the year. MTC creates a sense of community among trail running enthusiasts through social events, work days, our website, and our social media platforms.
Over the years, Run Wild Missoula has actively increased its role in the trail running community, by providing resources to help promote stewardship and conservation. Run Wild Missoula is a leading voice in our community to help promote trail etiquette, development of new trails, trail stewardship , and more. Additionally, Run Wild Missoula has financially supported several significant projects, including maintenance on the M Trail, improvements to the Milwaukee Trail through the Kim Williams Natural Area, and the Mount Dean Stone project. With the resources of Run Wild Missoula’s staff and volunteers MTC continues to flourish and make a difference in our trail running community.
Run Wild Missoula promotes and supports running and walking for over 1,600 people of all ages and abilities in the Missoula area. The support of our members, sponsors, and partners allows us to organize stewardship and volunteer opportunities, host iconic Missoula trail races, promote stewardship and conservation efforts, as well as contribute financially to some of Missoula’s most beloved trails. More than anything, Run Wild Missoula works hard to encourage an inclusive and vibrant running community in Missoula.
