"26.2 Miles of Black Hills Beauty!"
Deadwood Mickelson Trail Marathon
June 8, 2008
A word from the Race Director: There are a lot of marathons out there laying claim to be “most scenic,” and all of them have legitimate reasons for such a claim. None of them, however, are run through the sacred land of the Lakota Sioux, and finish at a town that is an Historic Landmark... that’s right, the entire town of Deadwood, South Dakota is part of our authentic American heritage. Might I also mention the close proximity of Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Devil’s Tower and numerous other attractions. All race directors think they have something special to offer you, and I am no different. My calling card is the awesome beauty of God’s magnificent creation, and a piece of Americana, all on the same day, in the same place. COME RUN WITH US... MAKE A LIFELONG MEMORY! - Jerry Dunn

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The Marathon is a point to point course, beginning in Rochford; home of the MoonShine Gulch Saloon and the University of Rochford. After a quick run through town, you find yourself on the George Mickelson Trail and on your way to Deadwood. The Half Marathon starts on the trail, 13.1 miles from Rochford. The Finish Line for both events is the Deadwood Trailhead. Complete course description can be found on the Course Information page. Bus transportation is mandatory to the start line of both events. Start time for both events is 8 AM. Relay Information... |
