In 1989, the first running of the Elkhorn Mountain Endurance Run took place on the Elkhorn Mountain trails just south of Montana City, Montana. The original race included a 100K (62.2 mile) trail race through the Elkhorn Mountains. The HURL Elkhorn Endurance Runs now include 50 mile and 50 kilometer distances. The race courses include mostly trails with some dirt Forest Service Roads, challenging terrain and some incredible scenery.

In 1997, a series of Running Camps were added to the Elkhorn Mountain Endurance Run activities. For running camps and fitness retreats contact Bobbie Pomeroy at pomeroy@montana.com or 406-227-7286.

For race information please contact Steve Engebrecht, Race Director, at slengebrecht@msn.com or 406-442-0924,

The race is a fund raiser for the Shriner's Hospitals for Children.
