Race Helps Kids Get Needed Healthcare
Over 37,000 Montana children go without essential healthcare services. The Governor's Cup is a fundraiser for the Caring Foundation of Montana, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, exclusively dedicated to providing Montana children with access to healthcare services. One-hundred percent of race proceeds goes to the Caring Foundation of Montana. You can also choose to donate $1 or more to the Caring Foundation of Montana when you register.
New 10K Team Event and 5K Junior Team Event
The team spirit at the Governor's Cup continues with the new 10K Team and 5K Junior Team events. The 10K Team Event is open to men and women in the Master's, Master's Mixed, Open, and Open Mixed categories. The 5K Junior Team Event is open Junior Boys, Junior Girls, and Junior Mixed teams.
