"To go through life without ever running over rolling hills, flat fields, rocky gullies, shifting sand, sloppy mud, clinging clay, and fresh firm grass where your feet spring like lambs, is like going through life without ever touching your lover's face." 

                                                                                            - Roger Robinson of New Zealand

The 2012 Montana Cup was hosted at the Wild Horse Plains Golf Course near Plains on Saturday, 27 October.

The Montana Cup cross-country meet offers an exploration of Montana’s magnificent open spaces. It is not a road race, nor is it an ultra-endurance trail run; it's a team event, which brings together runners from all of Montana’s cities for competition, racing across country, for the glory of claiming a “traveling trophy” - the Montana Cup.

The Montana Cup’s underlying mission is to unite the state’s widespread runners & running communities, to foster continued training & racing among Montana runners of all ages, and to leave each participant thinking ... "that course was excellent, exciting & beautiful!"

More information. You can also find comprehensive meet results with photos from all previous Montana Cups, and the Montana Cup Hall of Fame.
