Participants Help Siouxperman Make an Impact

---

NOVEMBER, 2024 - The Siouxperman Triathlon and Harvest Half Marathon & 10K are giving $7,950 to local organizations that make a difference in strengthening community and wellness. This is the sixth annual community gift from Sioux Center’s sprint triathlon and half marathon/10K race.

“Wellness and community have been at the core of these events since the first Siouxperman in 2007,” said Race Director Jason Moeller. “We have great local support, which makes these events possible. 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. This is part of a 5-year pledge totaling $15,000 to work toward a trail between Sioux Center and Orange City. A $2,000 donation will go to Midwest Honor Flight. A donation of $1,200 was given to the Dordt Hockey team, which assisted in the Siouxperman Triathlon setup, operations, and tear down. The donations also included contributions to the local emergency responders, who promote safety and help make wellness activities like these races possible:

• $750 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 participants are always so grateful for the events, the sponsors, and the volunteers that encourage them along the way,” he said. “We’re already preparing for our spring event, the Siouxperman Triathlon, on May 3, and we’d love to have you be part of it.”
