The Helena Sun Run is an annual fundraiser 5K/1-Mile run to raise money for solar panels on local public and non-profit buildings with the goal of making Helena a beacon of renewable energy. This 10th annual event will finish up fundraising for a solar project at the new Helena Food Share building at 1280 Boulder Ave, a project that will significantly reduce HFS’s energy costs and help them have a greater impact in the community.
Join us on Saturday, October 4, 2025, and see if you can “Outrun the Sun” (i.e., Em Thiessen in a goofy Sun costume) and help support renewable energy in the community. The event includes a “Clean Energy Expo” where local solar installers and regulators and organizations will have tables to answer questions and provide information. MEIC will be tabling, stop by and say hi!
