Plains Easter Rabbit Race

About the Event

Track, Field, and Cross-Country Fund Raiser. RUN or WALK -- Sanders County Timing

Our athletes do the bulk of the coordination and setup for this race and will join you on the run.

Select athletes will be 'Rabbits' during the race and will run a pre-designated time to help you meet your 5K goals. Each 'Rabbit' will have a finishing time they will run on their back. Just stick with them and they'll pace you through the race.

We help support the Sanders County Running Club annual scholarship

We also support team coolers and travel costs for post-season

About Plains

Learn more about the host city, Plains.

Plains is a town in Sanders County, Montana, United States. The population was 1,106 at the 2020 census. It was founded as Horse Plains and sometimes called Wild Horse Plains, as the local Native Americans would winter their horses here to feed on the grasses in the valley. The name was later shortened to Plains when the US Postal Service established a presence in 1905.
