Your parents always told you not to play in the woods at night, right? Now’s your chance to give it a go! Take on the challenge of a one loop 5K or complete two loops for a 10K at McFarland Park just outside of Ames. There’s a great mix of single track trail, prairie, and gravel. You’ll do it all as the sun sets on a beautiful Iowa summer night!
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.
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!
Coffee before and after you run! Plenty of post-race food to refuel! Games! Giveaways from sponsors!

This one definitely ate me alive. I didn’t realize when I signed up it was a trail run. I definitely was not ready, but regardless I needed a race in Iowa. The trail was well marked, lots of ups and downs, wooden bridges across creeks and through beautiful meadows. At one point on the trail the leaders and the rest of the pack got confused as to who is supposed to be on which side. It got very jumbled with a couple collisions and some angst.
