South Dakota’s Laziest Race: The Compass Center’s 0.5K
Get ready for South Dakota's most leisurely athletic achievement! The Compass Center proudly presents the return of the state's most effortless race, where going slow isn't just accepted – it's celebrated.
South Dakota’s Laziest Race
We’re calling all couch potatoes everywhere for the return of the Compass Center 0.5K: “South Dakota’s Laziest Race”. Enjoy camaraderie with fellow non-runners, enjoy the great outdoors, and have a beer (or root beer) on us.
Details
Returning this year the event is broken into 3 sections; a launchpad to warm-up and stretch while powering your body with refreshing drinks and great food; a leisurely ‘race’ through the 1/3 mile course (which can be completed at any pace); and a recovery lounge to rejuvenate and cool down after making it across the finish line.
The Cause
The Compass Center works with survivors of sexual and domestic violence, providing counseling and advocacy services at no cost for as long as service is needed. More than 1000 men, women, and children receive services every year thanks to generous donors. This “race” is YOUR chance to support survivors in our community! You can also click the ‘Donate’ button above and start your own fundraiser for the agency.
The Swag
We are stocking up on goodies for you so you can proudly show off your racing prowess all year long. Stay tuned for updates on what your swag bag will include!
Accessibility
We will make every effort to make this event accessible to everyone. If an ADA accommodation is needed, please contact The Compass Center (605-339-0116) at least 72 hours before the event.
