Ten Mile Creek Brewery 5k

The family-friendly Ten Mile Creek Brewery 5k helps to support Helena High School and Capital High School cross-country teams. The race starts at 5:00 PM to coincide with a fun late-summer block party on historic Last Chance Gulch. 

Runners are bused from downtown Helena to the starting line, which is on Helena's west side. (See instructions below for downtown parking and shuttle departure times.)  

Course: You'll head uphill from University St to access LeGrande Cannon Blvd, where you'll travel east on the pedestrian path with expansive views of the Helena valley on your left. There is an aid station at about the 1.5-mile mark. Shortly before you reach the eastern terminus of LeGrande Cannon Blvd you'll drop down into Helena's historic mansion district and pass Hawthorn School before heading uphill again for a few blocks. The route then descends into historic Reeder’s Alley and crosses Park Ave to access the downtown Helena walking mall at Pioneer Park. From there you'll run through the shady blocks of the walking mall to finish near Ten Mile Creek Brewing. (See a course map on our website.)

All race finishers get a free scoop of Big Dipper ice cream, and other refreshments including water, Powerade, and fruit will be provided. Join the after party next door at Ten Mile Creek Brewery, with live music and food vendors on the walking mall. Finishers age 21 and over get a $1 discount with a race number off their first beer!
