Explore the great outdoors all around Iowa, all year long, during the eighth annual Iowa Trail Run Series.
It’s a running fan’s dream. The series kicks off in Des Moines (April 5) and offers eight more runs over the next few months in Sugar Bottom near Solon (April 19 and Oct. 5), plus Ledges State Park near Boone (June 7), Ames (June 21), the Annett Nature Center in Indianola (Aug. 16), Yellow River State Forest near Harpers Ferry (Sept. 21), Jester Park near Granger (Sept. 28) and the Waubonsie State Park near Hamburg (Nov. 9).
Runners can choose to run as many sites as they’d like, and each place offers routes of varying distances. There are races for kids, too — a perfect opportunity to get away from screens and burn some energy outside.
