Get ready to tackle Helena's beloved trail race on September 26, 2026—the 50th edition of this local favorite! You'll conquer 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) with 1,300 feet of elevation to navigate, mixing roughly 1.5 miles of road running with 4+ miles of gorgeous single-track trail as you push up Mount Helena and fly back down to Last Chance Gulch downtown, all while soaking in panoramic views of Helena, Prickly Pear Valley, and the surrounding mountain ranges. Sign up before September 1 for a better deal on entry, grab your packet starting at 10 am on race day at Birds & Beaselys on the Walking Mall, and remember that race swag goes to the first 100 finishers (leave the pups and strollers at home for this one!).
