The Governor’s Cup half marathon course is moving back into Helena for 2025, sharing the starting line with our 5K and 10K events. The first three miles of the half marathon will be shared with the 10K course. From there, runners will head to South Hills Road, where spectacular views of the Helena valley await. The course will rejoin the 10K and 5K courses for a finishing kick up the walking mall. There will be no busing this year, and the half marathon is slated to start at 8 a.m. A detailed map and course video will posted soon.
