Runners who have participated in BQuick Running’s South Hills Annual Trail Series (or “SHATS”) in years past will be familiar with this race, which now will be extended to approximately 7.5 miles (12k) to finish in downtown Helena with food, beverages, awards and fun on tap! [DETAILS TBD.] Register by April 30, 2023 for early-bird pricing!

As in past years, the race will be in time-trial or pursuit format, with slower runners starting earlier than faster runners. For 2023, groups of 5-10 runners of similar pace (based on prior results or recent 10k or 12k times) will start together, with a faster group starting 5 minutes later, and so on until all runners have started. The fastest runners have their work cut out for them to try and catch up before the finish line. It’s a fun format you won’t want to miss!
