Newton Hills Trail Races

The Sioux Falls Area Running Club organizes trail races at Newton Hills State Park. The event has been held since 2002 and adopted the current distances in 2007. Races are scheduled in October at the Blue Diamond Trail Head within Newton Hills State Park.

The event offers two course options:

  • 2 mile: shorter route suitable for first time trail runners and families.

Course maps and course videos are provided for both distances. Awards are given in each race for 1st overall male and female and last overall male and female. The race is part of a multi race points series for 2026. Series scoring awards 10 points for first place down to 1 point for tenth, within age divisions: 29 and under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60 plus. Overall series champions are also recognized.
