The STS marathon starts in WY and ends in SD so could count as either state.

This was an incredible small town race. The communications leading up to the race were very detailed and the race director was quick to respond to any questions. From the packet pickup throughout the whole race, the volunteers and race team went out of their way to make sure all the runners had a great experience. I can't thank them enough for an amazing race.

The course itself runs through the Spearfish Canyon giving amazing views throughout the race. I even encountered some cows and goats along the way. Overall the course is super fast and ripe for PRs and BQs. The best piece of advice I would give future runners is train for lots of downhill and to study the course map to understand the elevation, terrain, and water stop locations.

As a bonus, there is lots to see and do near Spearfish such as the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore. Thanks again to the STS team for an unforgettable race and I would highly recommend this marathon!
