Living History Farms Race

About the Event

Experience the rustic charm of rural Iowa with this unique off-road race that winds through picturesque landscapes. Runners will encounter diverse terrains including winding woodland trails, lush fields dotted with livestock, and serene streams where you might find yourself splashing through cool waters.
The course begins and concludes in Walnut Hill, a charming town established in 1876. Along the way, participants traverse three historic farm sites, each offering a glimpse into Iowa's agricultural heritage. As you run, don't miss the opportunity to wave at horses grazing by the roadside or sheep meandering through fields.
Upon completing this scenic journey, all finishers will receive an exclusive race shirt and a distinctive cowbell medal as a symbol of their achievement.
This event promises not only a challenging course but also a memorable experience steeped in local history and natural beauty.
