Brookings, South Dakota, hosts the 25th oldest marathon in the US, 3rd oldest among those run every year since inception. Though the race has evolved since 1970, the course still includes historic neighborhoods, beautiful parks, bike paths, and tree-lined streets. ​Along the way, runners are supported by hundreds of wonderful volunteers, and opportunities abound for family and friends to cheer.

Our flat, fast course takes runners through the best rural America has to offer: Parks, Gardens, Bike Paths, the Historic District and South Dakota State University. Over 300 volunteers! Proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club of Brookings (USATF Certified)
