Raider Run - Rapid City
Raider Run is an 8K Double Run composed of two separate races run on the same day at 940 Sheridan Lake Road, Rapid City, SD. Participants first complete a 5K, take a recovery period, and then complete a 3K; the two running times are added to produce an official combined result. The recovery interval does not count toward the combined time, and individual recovery length depends on when each runner finishes the first race.
Every registered participant receives an event T-shirt. Runners who finish both races receive an 8K Double Run finisher’s medal. Awards recognize overall male and female Double Run champions and age-group winners based on combined times. Age groups are under 18, 18–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, and 60 and older. The fastest male and female 5K and 3K performances among Double Run finishers are also recognized.
Proceeds from the event benefit Running Strong for American Indian Youth, an organization co-founded by an Olympic gold medalist that supports Native American youth and communities. The event is organized by Stevens Raiders Track & Field, which states an intention to support youth through the race. Registration opens 1/1/2027, closes 4/11/2027, and the registration fee is $35.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
