Great Bear Trail Races

The Great Bear Trail Races take place in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, featuring 3-mile and 6-mile trail runs plus a free kids' race. Set in the 220-acre Great Bear Recreation Area, the course offers a mix of wide gravel paths, single-track trails, and grassy sections, with about 450 feet of elevation gain across three scenic bluffs. The race starts near the chalet's bunny hill and showcases wooded hills and prairie views.

Participants receive a $20 gift card to 605 Running Company instead of traditional swag. The event is chip-timed and encourages family participation with discounted youth pricing and a kids' race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
