Course & Travel Notes
You'll want to arrive in Helena the day before or early on November 26th to tackle the Crossroads Fitness Turkey Trot, which kicks off at 10:00 AM—plenty of time after the 7:45 AM sunrise to get acclimated to the 4,029-foot elevation. The good news is that Helena Regional Airport is just 2.9 miles from the venue, making it super convenient to get there without a long drive. Pack layers for the chilly conditions typical of late November in Montana, where you can expect highs around 43°F and lows near 23°F, and bring a rain jacket just in case since there's roughly a one-in-five chance of measurable precipitation.
