Quarry Springs Paddle Skedaddle Biathlon
The Quarry Springs Paddle Skedaddle Biathlon takes place on September 13, 2026 at Quarry Springs Park in Colfax, Iowa. The event combines kayaking and trail running with options to complete both segments, to join as a relay team member for a single segment, or to enter the run/walk only categories including an option to run with a dog.
Distances offered:
- 5.5 Miles: 2 mile kayak and 3.5 mile run
- 3.5 Miles: relay team member, one event either kayak or run
- 3.5 Miles: run/walk only without dog
- 3.5 Miles: run/walk only with dog
Registration opens in early April 2026 for most events and closes on September 1, 2026; the run-with-dog entry opens one day later in April. Early and later pricing tiers are listed by the organiser, with higher fees for late registration; registration by September 5 is required to be guaranteed a t-shirt.
Participants must provide their own kayaks and life jackets for the kayak portion. Packet pickup occurs on race morning at the park office. Water will be available on the running course. Finishers should be able to complete the combined course in about 2 hours 15 minutes at a walking and easy paddling pace.
Included items and services described by the organiser include a participant t-shirt, race bib, pre-race and post-race snacks, sponsor swag, free race photos, and trophies and medals. Age group categories are established for awards, and a parent-signed waiver is required for participants aged 17 and under. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
