Have friends or family coming along? Buy them a lunch or pool pass now! To get an accurate food count, you won't be able to purchase extra meal passes race day. All lunch and pool pass tickets will be given out at packet pick up.
Missoula Bus Shuttle ($10)
We offer an optional bus ride from Missoula to the race start. This shuttle will leave Missoula on race morning at 7:00 AM, drop you off directly at the race start in St. Regis, and drive you back to Missoula from Quinn’s Hot Springs at 2:30 PM.
Taking the bus allows you to avoid the hassle of driving, save on gas, and the convenience of not parking at Quinn’s and getting on another shuttle to the start on race morning. If you choose to take the Missoula Shuttle, you must pick up your packet on Saturday.
Custom 11 Miles to Paradise Nomadix Towel ($40)
For the first time ever, we have customized the perfect towel for soaking at Quinn's, hanging out by the river, or packing with you in your drop bag to wipe all the sweat away after a fun run/hike! We partnered with Nomadix to create "The Only Towel You Need". This towel not only looks great, it is also...
Best of all, you can show everyone near and far that you did the coveted 11 Miles to Paradise race!

This race is held on Lolo National Forest Lands and is permitted through the Superior Ranger District.
The course begins on an old two-track forest service road for one mile before narrowing down to single-track for the rest of the course. The trail weaves and rolls through the forest next to the Clark Fork river while contouring along small drainages and hillsides. The second half of the course has rolling hills, but overall the course is a net elevation loss. The race ends at the Ferry Landing Fishing access site along State Route 135, approximately 7 miles west of Quinn’s Hot Springs. Take advantage of the COLD waters of the Clark Fork to ice the legs before heading on the shuttle back to Quinn’s.
