About
Deadwood Mickelson Trail Marathon takes place on June 5, 2027, in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The marathon (26.2 mi) and the half marathon (13.1 mi) start at 8:00 a.m., with a 5K at 1:00 p.m. The marathon is a point-to-point course beginning in the former mining town of Rochford.
The Mickelson Trail is a converted railway, so the gradient never exceeds what a steam locomotive could manage — a rare thing in mountain country, and the reason this course is far more approachable than its setting implies. The altitude is the real cost: the Black Hills sit above 4,500 feet, enough to take a few minutes from a runner arriving from the plains.
