REGISTRATION OPENS JANUARY 1
The Don’t Fence Me In Trail Run is so much more than a race – it’s a grassroots celebration of community, connection, and Happy Trails. Don't Fence Me In was founded in 2000 by volunteers to showcase the open lands and trails protected by Prickly Pear Land Trust. We now offer an event for every trail lover, with four races and two noncompetitive walks. Plus, every stride you take and every dollar raised directly supports Prickly Pear Land Trust's mission to preserve and protect the breathtaking trails and open spaces we all cherish. Join the thousands who make this event an unforgettable part of the Helena experience.
