The event is a partnership between Get Fit Great Falls and the U.S. Forest Service and is sponsored by Scheels.
"It's a great chance for folks to get out and be active. It can be hard sometimes in Montana to get out and be active outside but Get Fit Great Falls is committed to finding ways for folks to get out and about,” said Clark Carlson-Thompson, Get Fit Great Falls board member.
