The Deadwood - Mickelson Trail Marathon is a point to point course, beginning in Rochford, SD  and ending on Main Street in Historic DEADWOOD. The first 24.5 miles are on the trail - a 10 foot wide, well-groomed, easy-on-the-knees, super-scenic pathway through the breathtakingly beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. The last mile and half are run through the streets of Deadwood. There's not a course like this one anywhere in the world!
Running Times called our course "The Perfect Marathon Course." And Runners' World called us "The Best Kept Secret in Marathoning"  Come see for yourself!
