Clive Running Festival - 2026
The Clive Running Festival takes place on July 18, 2026, in Clive, Iowa. The event uses Campbell Park for the start and finish and routes that run partly through a nearby neighborhood and partly on the Clive Greenbelt Trail. The trail is a year-round facility used by runners, walkers, and bicyclists.
Events include multiple distances:
- 5K
- 1 Mile (ages 6-17)
- Kids Trot fun races, distances based on age, from 50 meters up to 400 meters
Registration is available online for the 5K and 1 Mile. The Kids Fun Run is not available for online registration; participants complete a waiver and receive a free race-day bib. Packet pickup is offered at Fitness Sports in Clive and on race day at Campbell Park.
The festival is organized as a non-profit. Revenue exceeding expenses is used by the Clive Parks and Recreation Department for community benefits, including trail improvements, drinking fountains, and winter snow removal equipment for the Greenbelt Trail. Walkers and wheelchair participants are welcome in any event. Pets are not permitted. Entrants may use their race number for access to the Clive Aquatic Center on race day at no additional cost.
