The 5K course uses paved residential streets in Gladbrook, the tree-canopied limestone Wolf Creek Trail, and gravel sections near the Tama County Fair Grounds. A 2 Mile Walk contest challenges participants to estimate their finishing time closest to their actual time. Strollers and leashed pets are welcome; skateboards, skates, roller blades and bikes are prohibited. The event proceeds rain or shine. Restrooms are available at the corner of Washington and 4th Street, at the northeast corner of the city park.
Awards are given to the top two finishers in each age category for men and women, and to the top two participants in the 2 Mile Walk contest. All registered participants are eligible for door prizes. Packet pick-up is available on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
