It was a record day for the 6th annual Newton Hills trail challenge
races as 80 runners completed either the 2 mile or 6.2 mile races.
With temps around 50 degrees and cloud cover, it made for ideal racing.
Sadly, someone changed a key sign around 4.2 miles, so the top
5 runners were led off in the wrong direction, but their places remained
the same and awards were handed out to them as if they had run
the regular race.
Special Thanks to ALL volunteers and our sponsors: Scheels, First Premier
Bank, Road ID, Trail Runner Magazine,
Sunshine Foods of Canton, Newton Hills State Park, and the Sioux Falls
Area Running Club.
