Registration for all 4 races:

Race Details:
Make the drive south and see why so many people have fallen in love with this race, or make a weekend out of it and camp right in the park! As noted above, we will only have ONE signup period for all 4 races that includes the special swag gift, so get signed up before June 5th HERE!
We'll have all three distances this year but they will all be slightly altered (directional) to make it easier to mark and less likely to go off course. We are also getting new trail marking signs to help as well!
Camden State Park Trail Races
3 | 7 | 10 Mile Distances
August 23rd - 9am
Race Details:
Camden State Park in SW Minnesota is part of the Coteau des Prairies (highland of the prairie) plateau. The Redwood River cuts through the park forming a wooded valley with ample hiking, biking, and running trails throughout the park. This is the furthest race from Sioux Falls, but the beauty of this park and diversity of the trails makes it a must run event. We can't wait to for everyone to experience this race!
The 3 and 10 mile participants will start together, followed by the 7 mile participants 5 min later. The 10 mile race is simply the 3 mile + the 7 mile course. The courses will start and end in the south parking lot by the Redwood River and Bluebird Trailheads. There is ample parking and we have the full group camp to use during our event. Races will run counter clockwise, heading north through the valley and along the Redwood River. Eventually turning east up the bluff where you’ll run along the woods and in the open prairie, before eventually heading back down into the valley and circling back to the finish area. Trails vary from wide mowed paths to technical singletrack.

Great Bear Trail Races
3 | 6 Mile Distances
FREE 1 Mile Kids Race
September 27th - 8:30am | 10am (Kids Race)
Race Details:
We have a challenging 3 mile loop that takes participants throughout the entire park and the 6 milers will run it twice. We're excited to be back as this is one of the best parks to trail run at in the Sioux Falls area, and it will only get better with F.A.S.T. looking to build up to 17 miles of trails in the park. Remember to bring the kids out for a free race following the 3/6 mile races. Click HERE for all the race details and to get registered!
