49th August Road Race, Montana's Second Oldest Footrace. 3.8 mile point-to-point fast course (mostly dirt road). Starts at 7:15 PM at intersection of Head Ln. and Country Club Ave. $5 entry fee. Race day registration only (opens at 6:30 PM, near the starting line). 100% of race proceeds go to youth cross-country programs. This is the ultimate, minimalist, no frills race -- who needs t-shirts, numbers, awards, or door prizes, when you can have fast times, accurate results, friendly volunteers, loads of tradition, and a warm feeling for supporting a worthy cause?
