Harvest Half Marathon and 10K

The Harvest Half Marathon and 10K is a fall race in Sioux Center, Iowa, offering a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 10K (6.2 miles). The half marathon begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by the 10K at 8:15 a.m. This schedule provides an early-morning start in a region of Iowa known for its typically pleasant autumn racing conditions. The race was established by the organizers of the Siouxperman Triathlon. They recognized a need for a half marathon closer to Sioux Center, as local runners often had to travel significant distances. Positioned between the Minneapolis and Des Moines marathons, the event can serve as a training race for athletes preparing for larger Midwest events. Volunteers are essential for the race's execution, and the organizers acknowledge their reliance on them for race day operations.

Spooky Sprint- Sioux Falls

Spooky Sprint Sioux Falls is a nighttime Halloween-themed race at Camp Leif Ericson, centered on a dark-woods scare route rather than a standard road run. Participants can select a 5K, while walkers have a 1-mile option for a less intense version of the same eerie setup. The event welcomes all ages, though children must be accompanied by an adult, and all attendees should anticipate being scared. The 5K takes runners through the woods with creatures from Terror 29 pursuing them along the route. The 1-mile walk offers a spooky stroll for those seeking scares without intense exertion. Costumes are permitted, screaming is encouraged, and flashlights are optional, though the event humorously notes they offer little defense against monsters. The atmosphere leans more toward a haunted attraction than a typical fun run, captured by its tagline: “Run Fast. Don't Look Back.”

Turkey Trails - Sioux Falls

Turkey Trails - Sioux Falls is a backyard ultra where all participants begin together at the start of each hour. Each lap covers 4.166667 miles, and runners have one hour to complete it before the next start. If you are in the starting corral when the next loop commences, you are tied for first place; the race continues until only one runner remains. The event takes place on a farmstead in Turkey Ridge Valley, near Marion and Freeman in eastern South Dakota. The course follows maintained and rough gravel and dirt roads, along with pastureland, featuring minimal elevation changes. The same loop is used during daylight and after dark. This event is noted as South Dakota’s first Backyard event, attracting runners seeking a straightforward yet demanding challenge: complete the loop, recover quickly, and repeat.
