Brookings Marathon

Brookings, South Dakota, hosts the 25th oldest marathon in the US, 3rd oldest among those run every year since inception. Though the race has evolved since 1970, the course still includes historic neighborhoods, beautiful parks, bike paths, and tree-lined streets. ​Along the way, runners are supported by hundreds of wonderful volunteers, and opportunities abound for family and friends to cheer.  Review our website and drop us an email if you have any questions. Then sign up and join us for this great running tradition!

The Brookings Marathon is organized by a local race committee and the Prairie Striders Running Club to host South Dakota's oldest marathon. They promote health and fitness through running events (full marathon, half-marathon, and relay), acting as an official Boston Marathon qualifier.
