🌲 Race Description

• Scenic Route: 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.
• Inclusivity: This race caters to veteran and new trail runners alike.
• Experience: 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.
