Iowa Trail Run Series: Jester Park
The event takes place at Jester Park along the shore of Saylorville Lake in Granger, Iowa. Races run on a mix of trail surfaces including gravel, dirt, and grass, and the course passes by a buffalo enclosure.
Available event formats include:
- ITRS Jester 5K
- ITRS Jester 10K
- ITRS Jester Enduro Individual (3.1 mile loop, repeatable over 10 hours)
- ITRS Jester Enduro Team (up to 5 people)
Course management features include clear marking, course support, and basic timing. Participants receive a custom bib and a rotating race item such as a buff, socks, a stocking cap, a coffee mug, or an aluminum water bottle. Those who register for the full series receive a series gift. A tri-blend shirt with an animal icon is available as an optional purchase.
Post-race offerings include food and on-site games. The 2026 program adds the enduro format, which challenges participants to complete the 3.1 mile loop multiple times within the ten-hour window.
