Newton Hills Trail Race

The Newton Hills Trail Race is an established off-road running event organized by the Sioux Falls Area Running Club. This race has a long history in the local running community, having been held annually since 2002. It serves as a featured event within a broader regional trail series that spans several parks and recreation areas.

Participants can choose between two different distances:

  • 2 miles
  • 6 miles

The event is part of a points championship series. Participants in the 2 mile and 6 mile distances can earn points toward season standings based on their finishing position within their division. Points are awarded to the top ten finishers in each category, starting with 10 points for first place down to 1 point for tenth place. Age divisions for the competition include 29 and Under, 30-39, 40-49, and 50+.

At the conclusion of the series, overall male and female champions are recognized. Top finishers in each age division are also eligible for awards such as gift cards or framed prints featuring landscape photography of the race courses.
