Black Hills Beer Mile

As September winds down, the trails are still calling. Whether you're chasing golden hour miles or squeezing in steps between life’s chaos, this season is all about showing up—however that looks for you. Big goals or easy jogs, fast finishes or slow starts—every mile counts.

Thanks for making this community part of your fall movement.

There’s something about mid-September that just hits different. The back-to-it energy, the renewed routines, the steady rhythm in your stride—it’s a great time to get moving. However you’re logging miles right now, keep it up.

The path forward is yours to shape, one step at a time.

On this Patriot Day, we pause to remember and honor. Let’s take a quiet, thoughtful run—each stride a tribute to resilience, courage, and unity. Whether you run solo or with friends, use this time to reflect and reconnect. Thanks for being part of this small but mighty community that celebrates movement, meaning, and miles with heart.

Hey, trail‑seekers and mile‑chasers!

As the Black Hills transition into golden hues, trade scorching runs for crisp morning miles and leaf‑crunching trails. Whether you're chasing fall colors or chasing a personal best, this season’s all about finding joy in the journey.

At the Black Hills Beer Mile, every lap and every sip supports the places we love.

This year, we are proud to donate a portion of proceeds to Hanson-Larsen Memorial Park (HLMP), a nonprofit wilderness area with more than 20 miles of trails for hiking, running, and cycling. HLMP was built on the vision of Edna “Eddie” Marie Larson, whose dream was to create free, accessible outdoor spaces in Rapid City.

Your race entry helps preserve that dream and keep the trails open for years to come.

Join us on July 27, 2025, at Lost Cabin Beer Co. Let’s run, drink, and give back together.
