The Route
In September 2026, runners will depart from the west side of the state to begin the 437 mile, relay-style journey across the state. Tackling the ever-changing South Dakota weather and terrain, runners will connect with communities as they raise awareness for mental health and funds for the Helpline Center. The team will arrive in Sioux Falls to a celebratory finish line. The runners of The 437 Project invite everyone to come out to run, support, and encourage them as they pass through communities along the route.
