Helena, MT

Running in Helena revolves around the valley floor and surrounding foothills at 1,200m elevation—expect cool, dry conditions and steady climbs into the Scratch Gravels and Oro Gulch. The York 38 Special half-marathon and full marathon draw serious competitors, while the Helena Run For Heaven's Sake 5K keeps the local community engaged on shorter courses through town. Cyclists have prime terrain here: the Unravel The Scratchgravels XC gravel race showcases the signature riding just north of downtown, a mix of technical climbs and fast descents on fire roads that define the region.
