Races

Do you like to climb stairs? You will when you're done experiencing Ledges' famous hilly loops through scenic forest that features more steps than we care to count, two creek crossings, and one heck of a way to start your summer! $3 from every registration goes to the Friends of the Ledges who help maintain Ledges State Park to be one of the most amazing places in Iowa! The Iowa Trail Run Series is not about spending a bunch of cash for no reason. You'll get a great race with clear marking and course support, with basic timing, a cool custom bib, and a rotating race item such as a BUFF, socks, a stocking cap, coffee mug, and aluminum water bottle. Signing up for the entire series includes a series backpack! Do you want a really soft and comfy tri-blend shirt with one of our Animal Icons? Great! Add one during your registration. We know some people have enough stuff in their closet and others may want to commemorate the day! Plenty of post-race food to refuel! Games! Giveawa
