Whitefish Amtrak Station (Empire Builder line), 500 Depot St, Whitefish, MT — located directly at/adjacent to the start venue.
All races (marathon, half, 5K) start together at 8:00am at Whitefish Depot Park, 510 Railway St — the historic Whitefish train depot itself, so the Amtrak station is effectively on-site (no walk needed for train arrivals, though Amtrak's Empire Builder only serves Whitefish twice daily, not timed for race-morning arrival).
