Winter RUNderland

Join us on December 10, 2026 for the inaugural Black Hills Running Company's Winter Runderland at Storybook Island. This special evening run begins with a festive departure from Black Hills Running Company at 5:30 PM and continues along the City Bike Path before entering the illuminated paths of Storybook Island. Participants will enjoy an enchanting route through the park, which is closed to the public for this exclusive event, allowing runners to take in the holiday lights without any crowds.
The main course covers a scenic loop that spans 4.75 miles, while those looking for a shorter option can join at Sioux Park starting from 5:55 PM. Both routes offer an unforgettable experience with twinkling lights and festive decorations lining the way. Registration includes race swag and holiday treats, plus admission to a warm-up party afterward back at Black Hills Running Company.
All ages are welcome to participate in this family-friendly event that promises fun for everyone as you celebrate the season's newest tradition. The proceeds from your entry fee will be donated directly to Storybook Island, supporting their ongoing efforts to bring joy and magic to visitors year-round. Don't miss out on creating memorable moments with friends and loved ones during this unique holiday run!
