We're excited for another challenging ultra (and sub ultra) trail race starting up in Sioux Falls! And we’re grateful to be able to pass on the knowledge we've learned over the pass few years (thanks to Schwab and Sioux Falls Area Running Club ) to help this race get off the ground!
We hope you all can join our friends!

If you're like us, you certainly can't get enough of trails! And maybe you're looking for some 'tune up' races before you come party with us on November 7th.

Well, we've done some work for you!

We've connected with friends, some local running clubs, and scoured our sources and have come up with this list of trail events within the Sioux Falls Area.

Check out these fantastic trail events (some tried and true, some new!) put on by some great people for yourself!

**a special plug for group runs: a great way to meet like-minded people and learn all things trail and ultra running as well as life lessons! (And you'll find a few race directors there too!)

***VOLUNTEERING is also a great way to be involved and we're certain any and all of these races would love any help lended to them!
