Fast Track Trail Race: Waterloo, Iowa
The Fast Track Trail Race is scheduled for September 26, 2026 in George Wyth State Park near Waterloo, Iowa. The event offers two measured distances on runnable trails through woods, prairie, and lakefront sections.
Course details note primarily smooth dirt single track with some grassy and open segments, gentle rollers, and no major climbs. The 25K is run as two loops of the same circuit, which adds a pacing and endurance element without technical terrain. The course is described as well maintained and fast.
Support on course is limited. Aid station locations include the start/finish area and the beginning of the second loop for 25K runners. Water, electrolyte drinks, and some fuel options are available, but runners are expected to plan for their own hydration and nutrition needs. Race day services listed include professional race photos, race swag, handcrafted awards, 2026 race bibs, and food and drinks at the finish area near Canfield Shelter.
This will be the fifth running of the event. The overall atmosphere is described as friendly and low-key, with an emphasis on runnable single track and a straightforward loop format that helps with pacing and course familiarity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
