Race Information

What started out as a Women’s Marathon is now open to all but let’s face it; the women, in my opinion, are still in charge!

Picture this: a perfect place, a perfect pace, a perfect race…Knowing a downhill marathon is about speed, and that it’s going to be a fast run, I still encourage you to take the time to look around and savor the unique beauty only a Black Hills of South Dakota Marathon can provide.
