Andy's Road Race

On Saturday, September 5, 2026, Memorial Park in Huron will host the 44th Annual Andy's Road Race. This year’s edition features both a competitive and inclusive atmosphere for runners of all levels. The day kicks off with two road races: a challenging 10K at 8:00 AM followed closely by a more moderate but still spirited 5K race, also starting at the same time.
For those preferring a less strenuous activity, there is the Harvey Gleich Memorial Walk, a non-competitive event covering 2 miles and set to begin just five minutes after the races start. Participants can enjoy a leisurely stroll through scenic paths while commemorating the legacy of Harvey Gleich.
The day's festivities continue with an added touch for younger runners: a free Kids’ Fun Run designed specifically for elementary school-aged children, scheduled to take place immediately following the main events. This quarter-mile dash offers young participants their first taste of competitive running in a fun and supportive environment.
Registration is now open, offering early bird discounts until August 28, 2026, where runners can secure not only lower entry fees but also guarantee t-shirt sizes for this year’s commemorative gear. The race day registration will still be available before the event starts at 7:30 AM, though prices will increase significantly.
Entry costs vary based on participation type and timing:
- $40 if registered by September 4
- $50 when registering on race day
- A special walker-only option priced at just $30
- High School Cross Country participants pay an additional nominal fee of $5
This event, sanctioned by the SDHSAA (South Dakota High School Activities Association), promises to be a memorable experience for all involved. Whether you’re aiming for personal bests or simply looking for community engagement and fun, Andy's Road Race has something for everyone on this exciting September morning in Huron.
Participants are encouraged to sign up early to secure their spot at the starting line and take advantage of exclusive benefits like discounted entry fees and guaranteed t-shirt sizes. Don't miss out on being part of a tradition that celebrates fitness, camaraderie, and community spirit.
