The Helena Tradition Returns!
The Don't Fence Me In Trail Run is the original Helena trail tradition! This race was born from a grassroots effort to showcase the stunning open lands protected by the Prickly Pear Land Trust. What began as a small event is now a major community gathering, bringing together thousands of passionate participants and volunteers.
This isn't just a race—it's a celebration. Every stride you take and every dollar raised directly supports the 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.
Lace up, hit the trails, and run for conservation!
