The Blood Run - Lennox, SD
The Blood Run is a timed loop running event held on an organic vegetable farm just south of Lennox, South Dakota. Runners complete laps on a roughly 1.5 mile loop that follows the border around cultivated fields. The surface is mainly well-traveled dirt with sections of pasture where miniature animals live. Elevation change is minimal and the exact trail route may vary depending on summer rainfall.
The event offers multiple time-based race options:
- 48 hours
- 36 hours
- 24 hours
- 24 hour 4-person relay
- 12 hours
- 6 hours
- 3 hours
Amenities on site include a single fully stocked aid station located on the loop with flush toilets. Camping spots are available for runners and crews, and crews may support participants from campsites or vehicles. The farm environment is noted as a place where crews can remain on site and spend time outdoors.
The event name reflects the farm's history and local geography. The farm was named The Good Earth and the nearby monument is known as Blood Run; the race name connects those local references and the organizers' interest in endurance running.
