Looking to tap into your adventurous spirit? Join this evening trail run at McFarland Park near Ames, where you can tackle either a 5K or 10K distance across beautiful single-track trails, prairie, and gravel paths as the sun sets on a perfect Iowa summer evening. The Iowa Trail Run Series keeps it budget-friendly with clearly marked routes, basic timing, custom bibs, rotating race swag (including BUFFs, socks, and water bottles), aid support, and post-race festivities with food, games, and sponsor prizes—plus $3 from every registration goes to Conservation Partners of Story County to help maintain the area's parks. Optional custom tri-blend shirts featuring animal designs are offered, and runners completing the entire series receive a special commemorative gift!
