Registration open for Prairie Striders Indoor 5K

The tenth annual Prairie Striders Indoors 5K represents a rare chance to race indoors, using the SDSU track at the Sanford/Jackrabbit Athletic Complex.

Entries will be limited to the first 100 entries. The race will be run in two heats — one at 8:30 a.m. for those planning to finish in 24 minutes or less and the other at 9 a.m. Non-competitive walkers may complete as many laps as you wish between 7:30 and 8:15 a.m. Proceeds from both events go to the Prairie Striders/Phil LaVallee Memorial Scholarship.
​
DON'T WAIT! Register Online Now, save money and reserve your place in the race.
If the field hasn't filled, there will be limited race day entries taken at the door.

Participants receive a Prairie Striders drawstring  bag.

Packet pickup is immediately preceding the race. Doors open at 7 a.m.
All levels of runners are welcome as the race will have two heats — 8:30 a.m. for those planning to run in 24 minutes or less and the other at 9 a.m.

Runners will need to track their laps (16 2/3). Lap counters will only be able to track the leaders, so runners may want to use a clicker or a function on their watch or smartphone to avoid confusion.

Jay Larsen is co-directing the race with Dave Graves. Contact the directors at
