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 5K or 10K at Peterson 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! $3 from every registration goes to the Conservation Partners of Story County who help keep Peterson Park, McFarland Park, and the other great public parks in Story County, beautiful!

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. Signing up for the entire series includes a series backpack! 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! Plenty of post-race food to refuel! Games! Giveaways from sponsors!
