Augustana University will host the 14th Annual Augustana Twilight under the lights at Yankton Trails Park on Friday, September 5. On the collegiate side, the women's 5k is slated for an 8:30 p.m. start while the men's four mile race is at 9:00 p.m.
A season ago, the Twilight attracted 75 high schools and 35 collegiate programs. The 35 colleges and universities for the collegiate races consist of five Division I schools, nine Division II schools, six Division III schools, 11 NAIA schools and four NJCAA schools.
Amongst the Division I programs, the Big Ten's Nebraska Cornhuskers and regional foes of Omaha, South Dakota, South Dakota State, and St. Thomas (Minn.) all competed in 2023. From the Division II schools, all 10 represented the NSIC.
One of the largest races in the region, the event attracts more than 5,000 participants, coaches and fans annually for the races under the lights featuring teams from NCAA Division I to high school junior varsity squads.
