Have you ever wondered if you are faster than the sun? Well, now you can try to "outrun the sun" this Saturday in either a 5k or 1-mile run to raise money for solar panel installations for local nonprofit buildings in the Helena area. Even though the sun will be on the course, the weather will be on the cooler side, so dress warm! There will be information booths available after you race to learn more about renewable energy!
