Don't Fence Me In Trail Run

Join hundreds of trail enthusiasts in Helena, Montana, for the 24th Annual Don’t Fence Me In Trail Run. This race is all about coming together and celebrating our unifying love of the outdoors and running wild.

This iconic major recreation event has something for people of all ages; whether pushing through the 30K race, scrambling through hills and trees with the 5K or 12K courses, or taking time to sniff the wild roses in the non-competitive 5K Dog Walk, all offer opportunities to celebrate local wild lands and our connection to them.

Stick around afterwards for a party in the park with food, live music, and family-friendly fun.

Funds raised from this race support the South Hills Trail system and open lands in Helena, Montana. The South Hills Trail system can be accessed from downtown Helena and provides access for many outdoor recreation opportunities such as trail running, mountain biking and hiking.

Register now for the 30K, 12K, 5K races or the 5k dog walk. Kids under 13 run for free! For more info on the race, course maps, and to register visit our website.
