Get ready for a unique blend of fitness and fun at the Montana Brewery Running Series 5K, set to take place in Helena, MT, on October 10, 2026. This isn't your average road race; it's a celebration of community, scenic routes, and local craft beer, all starting and finishing at the vibrant Mt. Ascension Brewing Co. Participants will embark on a "5k-ish" course, approximately 3.1 miles, designed to be enjoyed by everyone, whether you choose to run, walk, or jog. Strollers and leashed dogs are also welcome to join in the festive atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in early October offer crisp autumn air, with highs around 60°F and lows around 36°F, and only a 4% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for an enjoyable outing.

The course itself promises scenic routes through beautiful Helena, allowing runners to soak in the surroundings before returning to the lively taproom of Mt. Ascension Brewing Co. Known for its floor-to-ceiling windows and a rooftop patio boasting sweeping views, the brewery provides an excellent backdrop for post-race celebrations. The Montana Brewery Running Series is renowned for its relaxed, "no pressure" environment, making it perfect for both seasoned runners and those simply looking for a fun way to be active and socialize. There's no time clock here; the focus is on good vibes and a great experience.

What truly sets this event apart is the celebratory atmosphere at the finish line, where every participant receives a well-deserved, locally-made craft beverage from Mt. Ascension Brewing Co.. Beyond the run and the refreshing beer, the Montana Brewery Running Series is committed to giving back, with a portion of all proceeds directly supporting local non-profit organizations. Come for the run, stay for the camaraderie, and contribute to a good cause at this unforgettable Helena event.
