Step into the vibrant heart of Rapid City, South Dakota, on Sunday, September 27, 2026, as you join the 4th Annual Teacher Trot. This year’s event celebrates its enduring legacy while fostering community and support for a cherished local institution. Children's House Montessori (CHM), a nonprofit school established in 1985, is dedicated to nurturing young minds through the Montessori Method across two campuses in Rapid City. The race will take you on an exciting journey of 5 kilometers from Stevens High School Practice Football Field, located just off Range Road near CHM’s Primary Campus. Starting at noon with a warm-up atmosphere and plenty of time for pre-race festivities, this event is perfect whether you're a seasoned runner or simply looking to support a great cause. Arrive by 11 am to enjoy complimentary race day swag bags and t-shirts while your children play in the bouncy houses set up especially for them. Post-race, savor delicious food from local food trucks as you relax with friends and family. Bring along a picnic blanket or lawn chair to sit back and soak in the scenic surroundings of Raider Park. Strollers are welcome, making it accessible even for those traveling with younger participants. This 5K race not only benefits CHM by raising funds essential for Montessori teacher training but also strengthens community bonds through shared experiences and support. Register early by April 11 to ensure you receive your complimentary t-shirt and be a part of this enriching event that combines fitness, fun, and philanthropy. Together, let’s celebrate the commitment to education and growth at Children's House Montessori!
