About the Rapid City Marathon
The full remains active within the Rapid City Marathon & Half Marathon weekend despite a legacy half-marathon domain. A dedicated Sunday start and bus distinguish it from the shorter events.
Course
Event buses carry runners to the start of this point-to-point road course. Open Black Hills-area roads and elevation changes make logistics and measured early pacing important.
Race-day weather
Late July in Rapid City can start mild and become hot, dry and windy, with thunderstorms developing quickly near the hills. Point-to-point exposure limits opportunities to adjust gear.
