The Roundup is one of the oldest continuously held outdoor rodeos in America. For five exciting days surrounding the July 4th holiday weekend, thousands of regional residents, and people from across the country and abroad, come to Belle Fourche to celebrate. The Black Hills Roundup started years ago when 15,000 people gathered in a Belle Fourche field to help raise funds for the 1918 war. This was an astonishing number of people to show up considering the population of Belle Fourche was 1,410. Even though World War I ended the next year, the success of the first year prompted them to try it again and again.

Picture this: a perfect place, a perfect pace, a perfect race…Knowing a downhill marathon is about
speed, and that it's going to be a fast run, I still encourage you to take the time to look around and
savor the unique beauty only a Black Hills of South Dakota Marathon can provide. This course has
proven a spiritual journey for me and I hope when you cross that finish line you feel the same way!
