River's Edge Trail Half Marathon

The River's Edge Trail Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile paved loop in Eldora, Iowa, offering both a running and walking half marathon. The race begins in Eldora, leading participants into the Iowa River Greenbelt, positioning it as a small-town trail event distinct from a city road race. The course crosses Pine Lake State Park and Steamboat Rock before returning along River's Edge Trail. Runners and walkers compete for the same overall awards. Pre-registered participants receive medals, and the post-race gathering provides breakfast and refreshments for participants and their families. Proceeds from the event support the maintenance of River's Edge Trail.
