The Helena Ultra Runners League (HURL) celebrates the rugged trails and community spirit of Montana running with three unique events each year:

Elkhorn Endurance Runs
1st Saturday in August
Montana’s oldest trail ultra invites runners to tackle 50 mile, 50 kilometer, and 13.1 mile courses through rugged mountain terrain, steep climbs, and sweeping views of the Elkhorn Mountains

Moonlight on Mount Ascension
Summer Solstice
Helena’s signature night-trail challenge takes runners on a 12-hour figure-8 adventure through the South Hills, chasing miles of rugged singletrack and starlit skies with every 11.5-mile loop

Fun Fat Ass Run
2nd Saturday in January
Helena’s own low-key winter fun run invites you to choose your own adventure – do 3 loops (the “full fat ass”), 2 loops (the “big ass”), 1 loop (the “skinny ass”), or even a short loop – starting and ending at HURL HQ
