Camp Māk-A-Dream is a 501c3 non-profit organization that relies on funds donated - and raised - by generous individuals. Many people who have either been a participant or volunteer in the past, experienced cancer in their own lives, or find fulfillment through helping others contribute towards making Camp's cost-free programs possible by raising funds for our organization. Camp Māk-A-Dream is located in western Montana but draws participants and volunteers from all across the U.S. and even abroad. Since opening its doors in 1995, Camp has welcomed over 10,000 individuals diagnosed with, or affected by, cancer. Each week of camp is provided cost-free to participants and relies in great part to the generous support of invididual donors like YOU! Whether it's running in the Boston Mararthon, holding a virtual event, choosing to use a birthday, anniversary or milestone event to raise funds for a charitable cause...it all adds up and makes a week at Camp Māk-A-Dream possible for h

Then for folks who are still standing, a trip to Flippers for Rainiers on the race director.  Stick around after the mile for a cigarette 400 - run one lap all out while finishing a cigarette of choice in memory of Koby Pederson. He's not dead yet, but we still will all burn a drunk heater to lock back in to hit the bars and honor the founder of Missoula Run Club.  Don't drink beer? Think N/A beer is a c
