The eventh annual LeeWok Adventure Race is a 5K and 10K race will be held out at Black Butte on Saturday, September 7th, at 8:30am. Come join us for an amazing morning, and grab a costume! Costumes are encouraged and our volunteers will be voting on the best costume with the winner getting a prize.

The race will take place at Black Butte Adventures 121st Avenue SE Sawyer, ND 58781, where there is a well kept one track trail up the Butte.

This race presents a 5k or 10k option on a trail that winds through some of NDs beautiful terrain. You will experience some hills, rocks, and wildlife along this peaceful trail. This event is open to all levels and is simple enough to relax and enjoy but challenging enough to be an adventure with some moderately difficult terrain. Grab a friend and join us for a great nature run with some beautiful ND scenery.

LeeWok Adventure race is a moderately difficult trail run, meant for people that have already run a 5K.

You can pick your packet up the morning of the event at the registration table from 7:30-8:15 am.
