Participants Help Siouxperman Make an Impact

---

June, 2026 - The Siouxperman Triathlon and Harvest Half Marathon & 10K are giving $8,500 to local organizations that strengthen community and wellness. This is the eighth annual community gift from Sioux Center’s sprint triathlon and half marathon/10K race.

“Wellness and community have been the purpose of these events since the first Siouxperman in 2007,” said Race Director Jason Moeller. “We have great local support, which makes the Harvest Half and Siouxperman Triathlon possible each year. And we have great participants, who inspire us and make it possible to give back.”

Of the donations, $3,000 is going toward Sioux County Trails, the final year in a 5-year pledge. A $2,000 donation goes to Sioux Center Parks, part of which helps with two new benches along the rec. trail.  A donation of $1,300 was given to the Dordt Hockey team, which assisted in the Siouxperman Triathlon setup, operations, and tear down, and a $700 donation went to Dordt Swimming, which assisted in the swim area. The donations also included contributions to the local emergency responders, who promote safety and help make wellness activities like these races possible:

• $500 to the Sioux Center Police Department

• $500 to Sioux Center Ambulance

• $500 to the Sioux County Sheriff’s Office

The Siouxperman Triathlon and Harvest Half Marathon & 10K are put on each year by a committee of volunteers with a goal of adding to community wellness, Moeller said.

“Our races are all about bringing people together: participants, sponsors, fans, and the volunteers that encourage them along the way,” he said. “We’re preparing for our fall event, the Harvest Half Marathon & 10K on Oct. 3, and we’d love to have you be part of it.”
