Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing

A cool 49°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 73°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info

The Run Crazy Horse Half Marathon is a point-to-point course that starts at the Visitor's Center at Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills. The first three miles follow paved and gravel roads inside the memorial grounds, past the old schoolhouse and out to the bus turnaround at the base of the carving, before the course joins the Mickelson Trail. The last 10 miles run on the trail, a mix of downhill and flat, and finish on Main Street in Hill City. The course is USATF-certified and held on the Sunday of race weekend.
