The event was organized by Helena High Cross Country Coach Bill Gilbert, and took place at the "Lamborn Hill Course."</p> <p>While some things have changed - the location is now at Head Lane, the entry fee is an exorbitant $5, and the event now goes by the moniker "Aug&#250;st Road Race, Montana's Second Oldest Footrace" - much has remained the same:</p> <p>The race still brings together runners of varying ages and abilities, all looking for a late-summer speed check and a friendly contest against each other and the clock. Runners still receive their starting instructions from the legendary Bill Gilbert. The proceeds still support the high school cross country program.</p> <p><br><br><br><br></p></div></div></div><!--end contentLarge --> <div id="siteInfo">2011 Helena Vigilante Runners, All Rights Reserved. </div><!--end siteInfo --></div><!--end wrapper --></td></tr></tbody></table></body></html>
