The course is a 25K loop (15.5 miles, so 50K runners would do two loops).

If you are interested in this race, in either running it OR helping with it, and would like periodic updates, please send an email to chemsmith1@gmail.com and ask to be added to the Hawkeye 50K/25K updates. Or use that email for any questions as well.

Be a part of the “Largest Cross-Country Race in North America”.
You will be challenged by the world’s richest farm land as you wade through creeks, avoid farm animals and claw your way to the top of gullies with over 7,500 (limit) other runners of questionable senses. It’s a great way to end the racing season and experience running stories to relive throughout the winter.
Stay for the “outdoors in November” post race refreshments, door prizes and awards ceremony.
