The Spring Volksmarch at Crazy Horse Memorial® will be held Saturday, June 1, 2024.
The one-day only event has 5k and 10k route options available. Hikers follow dirt trails and gravel roads up to the Crazy Horse Mountain Carving, including Crazy Horse’s nine story-high Face and newly completed extended Hand, which was dedicated at the 75th Anniversary in June 2023.
In memory of the late Ruth Ziolkowski, the admission fee is waived for hikers who bring a donation of three canned food items. Discounted admission is provided for hikers without the food donation. Regular admission price applies for non-participants.
For the first time since the Volksmarch began over 30 years ago, the registration fee has increased beginning in 2024. Hike participants pay the American Volkssport Association’s registration fee of $4 per person, regardless of age. Parking is free, with courtesy shuttle buses operating between the outlying parking lots and the start-finish area.
- Advanced registration is not available.
- Gates open at 6am.
- Registration is from 7am-1pm at the starting point in the Memorial’s upper parking area.
- The hike itself starts at 8am and all hikers must be off the trail by 4pm.
- There are no late starts.
The Mountain Carving Crew continues to work almost daily on the Crazy Horse sculpture. The Fall Volksmarch will be held Sept. 29, 2024.
