10th Annual Helena Sun Run

The Helena Sun Run is an annual fundraiser 5K/1-Mile run to raise money for solar panels on local public and non-profit buildings with the goal of making Helena a beacon of renewable energy. For our 10th annual event, we are finishing up fundraising for a solar project at the new Helena Food Share building at 1280 Boulder Ave, a project that will significantly reduce HFS's energy costs and help them have a greater impact in the community.

Join us on Saturday, October 4, 2025, and see if you can "Outrun the Sun" (i.e., Em Thiessen in a goofy Sun costume) and help support renewable energy in the community. The event includes a "Clean Energy Expo" where local solar installers and regulators will have tables to answer questions and provide information.

The Helena Sun Run is brought to you by the Helena Vigilante Runners, Helena Food Share, Sleeping Giant Citizens Council, and the Montana Renewable Energy Association.
