The Rapid City Sports Commission drives opportunity — on the field, in the stands, and across the city. Every event fuels local businesses, brings fans together, and creates moments athletes never forget.
We’re not just connecting tournaments to venues — we’re shaping the future of sports in Rapid City. Our team supports planners from first inquiry to final whistle, and we’re pushing for long-term growth through:
Hosting regional and national competitions
Driving capital investment into new and existing facilities
Advancing major projects like a Field House and expanded trail system
Generating over $5 million in local economic impact with an ambitious goal of $50 million in 2026.
With every event, Rapid City levels up the athlete experience and builds a legacy the community can stand behind.
We’ll build a branded microsite that makes trip planning easy for your athletes and fans. Participants can lock in accommodations, book tours, and get the info they need in a few clicks.
We'll help you scout and secure top-tier athletic facilities, negotiate venue contracts, and coordinate site visits to ensure every detail is game-day ready.
The team will help navigate permitting, connect you with local resources like equipment support, and build the partnerships that keep your event running strong.
From first whistle to final buzzer, the team will create marketing materials, run social campaigns, distribute press releases, and promote your event through trusted media partnerships.
We want every visitor to experience it all. That’s why each attendee will receive The Official Rapid City Guide to explore the city and the Black Hills.
