Candy Cane Course- Sioux Falls

Candy Cane Course- Sioux Falls runs in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on December 12, 2026, with a Christmas theme and formats for all ages. The 15K (9.3 miles), 10K, 5K, one-mile run and Kids Dash all start at 9:00 a.m. Registration includes a personalized bib, a designer tee and a finisher medal, with special packages for the youth and children's events. The timed races use chip timing with live results and awards, and free photos and treats round out the finish. A virtual entry is available, and children 10 and under have their own race, with the choice to take part without receiving the event items.

A December race this far north means committing to cold-weather road running, so plan your gear as deliberately as your workouts: layers you can shed, and a warm-up long enough to actually loosen you up. The 5K and 10K are the accessible entry points, while the 15K asks for a base of consistent weekly mileage. Around eight weeks of training with one long run, one faster session and easy running in between is a realistic approach.
