Hurl Elkhorn

Clancy, United States • 2 Aug 2025

HURL Elkhorn is a challenging trail running event held in the rugged Elkhorn Mountains near Helena, Montana. It offers three race distances: a 50-mile ultra, a 50K, and a 13.1-mile half marathon, all featuring technical single-track trails, primitive jeep roads, and forest service roads with no pavement. The courses showcase spectacular Montana backcountry with significant elevation gains—up to 13,400 feet for the 50-mile race—and reach elevations near 9,000 feet. Runners traverse remote, roadless terrain with diverse wildlife sightings, including deer, elk, moose, and bears. Aid stations are strategically placed along the routes, and the event emphasizes a rugged, natural experience with stunning mountain views.
