Kick the 2012 marathon season off right in Seeley Lake with the state’s first official marathon race on February 25th. The starter’s gun for the 33rd annual Snow Joke race shoots off at 11:00 a.m.  Race day registration for the 13.1 mile race is 8:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The registration fee is$15.00 ($5.00 if under age 20). The Snow Joke is a great training run for the Missoula, Marathon in July. Regardless of weather the race is on! Plan ahead and stay at the Lodges, located minutes away from the starting line.
