remely excited to continue the legacy of Leading Ladies, but also create more opportunities and options for all. Leading Ladies and Dakota Spirit marathons are two separate marathons being played out on the same day and same course, but make no mistake, the women will always rule! In addition to the two marathons, we are happy to announce the marathon relay, half marathon and new added (and highly anticipated) 10K are now open to all! Check out our newly designed logo representing our state animal, the Coyote and state flower, the American Pasque. These two iconic symbols were chosen for their beauty and connection to the history of South Dakota. We honor them just as we honor everyone running any of the events and we look forward to seeing you in August, 2022! Registration opens on Tuesday, February 1st for all races. Please visit our new website for registration and to learn more about the races.
