The Lean Horse Ultramarathon is run in August every year in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It was first run in 2005. It features a 100-mile (160 km) race, a 50-mile (80 km) race, and a 50-kilometre (31 mi) race. Most of the course is on the George S. Mickelson Trail. It was the 33rd sanctioned 100-mile race in the United States and is known as one of the easiest hundred mile races in the country.[1]

The course record of 15 hours and 24 minutes for the 100-mile race was set in 2007 by Akos Konya.[2] Howard Nippert holds the course record for the 50-mile race in 6 hours, 6 minutes and 10 seconds.[3]
