The August - Montana's Second Oldest Footrace

The Augúst, Montana's second oldest footrace, is a minimalist 5k trail run held annually in Helena, MT. Celebrating its 57th running, the race features a flat and fast course starting at the Spring Meadow Resources Pavilion on Broadwater Avenue. It offers two divisions: a youth 5k for ages 0-19 and an adult 5k for ages 20 and above.

The event emphasizes tradition and community support, serving as a fundraiser for local high school cross-country teams. Participants enjoy accurate timing, friendly volunteers, and a no-frills atmosphere without t-shirts or awards, focusing instead on fast times and supporting a worthy cause.
