Event Overview
Rachel's Race takes place at Family Park on S Ellis Road in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This community athletic event offers several participation options for different ages and activity preferences. Participants can choose between competitive timed events or recreational untimed distances held within the park grounds.
Available Distances
Participants can register for the following categories:
- 5K Run/Walk (Timed): A timed competitive event covering a distance of 5 kilometers.
- 1.5 Mile Walk: An untimed recreational walking path throughout the park.
- Kid's Dash: An untimed running event specifically designed for children.
- Virtual Option: A 3.1 mile (5K) distance that can be completed remotely.
Event Details
The physical events are held outdoors at Family Park. For the in-person 5K and the 1.5 Mile Walk, dogs are permitted on the course. To ensure safety, all dogs must remain on a leash and be comfortable in environments with crowds and other animals. While the main 5K event is electronically timed, both the 1.5 Mile Walk and the Kid's Dash are conducted without official timing.
Registration fees vary by category, with the virtual participation option including a separate fee structure from the park-based events. Registration for the physical events typically closes early in the morning of the day preceding the race, while the timed 5K has an earlier registration deadline in late August.
