🌳 Race Description

This hidden gem takes place the first weekend in December following the single-track dirt trail of the Sycamore Trail along the Des Moines River.

• Weather: Unpredictable winter weather in Iowa has brought rain, snow, and negative temps but has also brought picturesque 50-degree days and some of the fastest dirt trails in the state.
• Participants: This race caters to veteran and new trail runners alike.
• Scenery: With rolling single track, vast views of the Des Moines River and ever-present wildlife, you don't want to miss your chance at a Des Moines tradition of capping off the racing season.
• Registration: Register early as entries are capped at 300 participants.
