Sturgis Volksmarch

The Volksmarch, German for the “People’s March,” is an annual Sturgis event that has been happening for decades. Sturgis Volksmarches are sanctioned by the Black Hills Volkssport Association and follow a new and noteworthy trail route each year for participating hikers.
Why Volksmarch? Marchers participate for a variety of reasons - exercise, social interaction, exploring new trails, or just pure enjoyment. Most hikers walk at a leisurely pace to take in the natural beauty of the area, but it is up to each participant! Sturgis is lucky to be flanked by National Forest on one side and Great Plains on the other, offering countless opportunities for outdoor recreation on a variety of terrain. Past Volksmarches have visited Deadman Canyon, the historic Davenport Dams, the Alkali Creek area, Bear Butte State Park, and even a march through the town itself to highlight Sturgis’s unique history and culture.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Hike

Starting early is key, as hikers must embark on their journey between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., ensuring enough time to complete the trek and soak in the views. Remember to pack lightly but wisely — water, snacks, and layers to adapt to the weather are essential. With rugged terrain awaiting, sturdy footwear is non-negotiable. After your hike, don't miss exploring the Crazy Horse Memorial Welcome Center and the enriching Native American museums onsite, closing the day with a deeper appreciation of the region's heritage.
