The August - Montana's Second Oldest Footrace

The Augúst is Montana's second oldest footrace, held annually in Helena at the Spring Meadow Resources Pavilion. Celebrating its 57th running, this minimalist 5k trail race is known for its flat and fast course, attracting both youth (0-19) and adult (20+) runners. The event emphasizes tradition and community spirit over frills, offering no t-shirts or awards but focusing on fast times, accurate results, and friendly volunteers.

Entry fees support local high school cross-country teams, making it a meaningful fundraiser. The race embodies a sense of majestic dignity, reflecting its name's definition, and fosters a warm, supportive atmosphere for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
