HURL Elkhorn Endurance Runs

HURL Elkhorn Endurance Runs Home of the HURL Elkhorn Endurance Runs HURL organizes the HURL Elkhorn 50 mi, 50k and 23k races that take place the first Saturday in August.

Helena Ultra Runner's League (HURL) is a group of trail running fanatics who take full advantage of Helena's extensive singletrack trails. We take pride in running for hours on end often on remote mountain trails where we are no longer on top of the food chain. If you are in the Helena area, we would love for you to join us on our Wednesday or Saturday no-drop runs for all ages and paces. These ra

ces are mostly on technical single track, remote trail, with no pavement, just dirt, rocks, meadows, forest and incredible views. 50 mile runners also run through the historic Town of Elkhorn, and past its cemetery before circling beautiful Leslie Lake. Register at ultrasignup.com. HURL also hosts the Moonlight on Mt. Ascension 12-hour overnight event near the summer solstice in June. The course consists of a seven mile loop on Helena’s South Hill trail system. Runners can complete as many loops as they wish, which makes it perfect for both experienced runners and those who aren’t quite ready for an ultra distance event.
