Compass Center holds 'South Dakota's Laziest Race'
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – A race for those who want to support a cause but don’t enjoy running took place on Saturday morning in Sioux Falls.
“South Dakota’s Laziest Race” is a 0.5K race that raises money for the Compass Center, which works with survivors of sexual and domestic violence.
According to Compass Center staff, South Dakota is third in the nation for sexual violence per capita, which is why events that raise awareness are vital.
”When we think about violence and violence prevention, we know that there are lots of victims in our community and those victims need to feel supported by their community in order to heal and move forward. So, this event is about raising awareness and supporting them,” said Compass Center Executive Director Michelle Trent.
The race included a lazy balance beam, a rock wall, a sensory course and a recovery zone.
The Laziest Race was originally scheduled for June, but was postponed due to flooding and storms.
