Sioux Falls is proud to be the host of the Howard Wood Dakota Relays.
The Howard Wood Dakota Relays has experienced phenomenal growth since the first one-day event was held May 4, 1923. Over the years it has become one of South Dakota's premier athletic events.
The 88th running of the Relays is scheduled for May 3 & May 4, 2013 (no Relays in 2012 due to renovation of Howard Wood Field). More than 3,000 middle school, high school, college and university student athletes will be competing. The dedication of hundreds of volunteers, the financial support of area businesses and the outstanding facilities makes the Howard Wood Dakota Relays the meet of choice for many area track fans.
