The race would use local trails and showcase the city of Yankton as well as the Lewis and Clark Recreation area west of town. The inaugural River Rat Marathon took place on the 4th Saturday in April, 2010. This year will mark the 10th occurrence of this annual event. The River Rat Marathon consists of several running events including a USATF Certified Marathon (Boston Qualifier), a Marathon Relay Team event, a Half Marathon, a 5K run/walk and a Kids’ Fun Run. This year however due to construction near the trail we will not offer the marathon or marathon relay due to certification issues and detours but we have added a 10K.
