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 and funds for mental health. 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.
