The South Dakota Virtual Distance Challenge. The more you run/walk, the more you earn, during our 2020 quaRUNtine Challenge!
ABOUT THIS EVENT:
We are the South Dakota Brewery Running Series and we run for beer! While we might not be able to come together in person at this time, nothing can stop us from supporting our local communities. Our mission is to be active, have fun, and give back - and that can be accomplished in many ways.
In the spirit of continuing to be active during this time... join us for our first (and hopefully only) monthly South Dakota Virtual Distance Challenge. This challenge will last April 10 - May 10, 2020. 10% of all proceeds will go directly to the South Dakota Community Foundation Cornonvirus Response Fund

- Follow the link to join our South Dakota Brewery Running Series club on Strava - (https://www.strava.com/clubs/sdbrs) Don’t use Strava for your runs? No problem. As long as you record every run, walk, or jog on a mobile app (Strava, Nike+, Garmin, MapMyRun, Etc.) you are good to go.
- Strava is free to join. No need to sign up for the Summit Membership on the app. For each run/walk that you complete, send or tag us in a post-challenge picture, we will count your daily runs toward your monthly challenge total!

We are all about being active, having fun and giving back to our local community.
As the South Dakota community foundation, we work to serve and strengthen communities across South Dakota every day. We are committed to working with communities and nonprofits as they deal with the myriad of issues posed by the coronavirus.
Please join us to ensure that individuals impacted by the coronavirus can receive the help they need. Consider a gift to the Coronavirus Response Fund at the South Dakota Community Foundation. We’re in this together.
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
- Run wherever you would like, but we recommend staying relatively close to home. If you want to run 5-mile loops in your kitchen, who are we to say no.
- Be sure to practice safe distancing procedures while out on your runs. Give other runners, walkers, bicyclists at least 6’ of distance when passing.
- Is this run dog friendly? Of course it is. In fact, we recommend it.
- How about kids and running strollers? You betcha. This challenge can keep the whole family active.
