About the event
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois proudly presents the 423rd Annual Red Shoe Run & Walk 5K!

Race begins and ends at Lower City Park in Iowa City. On-site festivities include pre-race snacks, a kids zone, and awards for top runners across multiple age groups. After the race, stick around and enjoy a FREE lunch on us!
