Lace up for the Sioux Falls Skedaddle on May 17, 2026, a celebrated running event in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, offering both a Half Marathon (13.1M) and the family-friendly Bryan Boys for Hope: Zippy Mile (1M) with a superhero costume contest. This race, hosted by 605 Running Company, is more than just a competition; it's a vibrant celebration of community and movement. Typical race day conditions in mid-May present comfortable weather, with highs around 72°F and lows near 49°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running conditions.

The Half Marathon course begins at Family Park and culminates in a lively finish at Fawick Park, taking runners along scenic trails and bike paths that hug the Big Sioux River. While featuring some initial hills on city streets, the route generally flattens out, though runners should be prepared for some rolling sections and climbs throughout the middle of the course, with an approximate elevation gain of 446 feet. You'll traverse unique bridges and pass by the picturesque Falls Park as you approach the finish line. Dedicated aid stations, strategically placed approximately every two miles, are well-stocked with water and Gatorade and staffed by cheerful, supportive volunteers, ensuring you stay hydrated and motivated.

The Sioux Falls Skedaddle is renowned for its exceptional organization and spirited atmosphere, boasting high-quality, limited-quantity swag and providing pace teams to support all abilities. The weekend experience extends beyond the race itself, with festivities at the finish line in Fawick Park featuring refreshments, music, and ample photo opportunities. Runners consistently praise the race's community feel and the enthusiasm of its volunteers. Whether you're chasing a personal best in the half marathon or enjoying a fun mile with the family, the Skedaddle promises an unforgettable experience rooted in Sioux Falls pride.
