The story

Sioux Falls Marathon in Sioux Falls

The Sioux Falls Marathon is a USATF-certified Boston Qualifier run through downtown Sioux Falls and past Falls Park each year, established in 2012 by the Sioux Falls Sports Authority, with a portion of every entry fee supporting Sanford Children's Hospital and the Children's Miracle Network in South Dakota.

The Sioux Falls Marathon is a relatively young addition to South Dakota's running calendar, founded in 2012 by the Sioux Falls Sports Authority as a way to bring a certified, Boston-qualifying marathon to the state's largest city.

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

Beyond being a certified Boston Qualifier, one of relatively few in South Dakota, the race is built directly into the city's charitable infrastructure, with a portion of every entry fee going to Sanford Children's Hospital, giving runners a concrete local cause tied to their effort

The mystery stays covered

The course takes full advantage of Sioux Falls' extensive bike trail network and its signature Falls Park, giving out-of-state participants a genuine tour of the city's most scenic corridors rather than a generic closed-loop course
