The Experience
This is the 4th year for the Rapid City Half Marathon and 5k. The city has told us for years that a marathon is not happening because no room, or not possible to close any roads to make it possible.. So a marathon is in the works for 2024. Keep an eye out for registration to be posted soon! Something new we're doing is also having a relay event BUT also for businesses where they will take home a trophy. More details with this to come!
