Sioux Falls Marathon

The Sioux Falls Marathon takes place over a weekend in September in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, offering a full marathon, half marathon, and 5K. This range of distances allows dedicated marathoners, less experienced runners, and those preferring shorter races to participate in the same event, accommodating different training levels and objectives. The Sioux Falls Sports Authority organizes the event. Local spectators are encouraged to support runners along the course, particularly during challenging sections. A share of the net proceeds benefits Sanford Children's Miracle Network Hospital. In a recent year, the marathon generated over $27,000 for children in the Sioux Empire.
