Older mentors chaperone and drive alongside with water and snacks, but everyone pitches in.
“I don t think we ve had a single person who hasn t ran,” said organizer Montgomery Brown.
It’s called a healing prayer run and Brown said it has a long history.
“Before indigenous people came about to riding horse, a lot of messages were carried on foot,” he said.
In 2016, Brown ran from Standing Rock to Washington, D.C, in protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline. He said a lot of people joined in support, including some from Minnesota. He said now it’s his turn to reciprocate.

Mike Lindell held a rally in South Dakota on Monday to speak about his voter-fraud website, Frank.
The Dickinson Press reported that guests stood in line for hours - but the venue was only half full.
Lindell, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, has repeatedly pushed disproven voter-fraud conspiracy theories about the presidential election, prompting the voting-machine company Dominion to sue him for $1.3 billion.
Some attendees at Monday s event brought along Trump merchandise, including hats and flags. Salon.com s Zachary Petrizzo reported that a group of far-right Proud Boy members attended, citing a source at the event.
The event featured talks from Ben Carson, Trump s secretary of housing and urban development, who joined on video call, and the conservative podcaster Eric Metaxas. The comedian Joe Piscopo of Saturday Night Live fame performed a music set, which included the national anthem.
