City insight: Rapid City
Rapid City is a city and the county seat of Pennington County in western South Dakota, located on the eastern slope of the Black Hills. It is the state's second-most populous city after Sioux Falls, with 74,703 residents at the 2020 census, and it is known as the Gateway to the Black Hills. The continental climate brings cold, snowy winters and warm summers, so late spring through early autumn are the best seasons to race.
