Sowing & Reaping 5Ks
The Sowing & Reaping 5Ks is a recurring running event held in Eldridge, Iowa. The series features two distinct point-to-point races that follow the agricultural seasons of the region. Participants have the option to register for individual races or a combined bundle for both events.
The first event, the Sowing 5K, takes place in April. This point-to-point course begins in Eldridge and finishes in Long Grove. The race is themed around the planting of seeds for the new growing season in Iowa.
The second event, the Reaping 5K, occurs in October. This race follows a point-to-point route in the reverse direction, starting in Long Grove and finishing in Eldridge. The theme for this fall event centers on the metaphorical bringing in of the harvest.
Available distances include:
- 5 km (Sowing 5K)
- 5 km (Reaping 5K)
The start and finish areas are located at 851 N 1st St in Eldridge. Both events are scheduled for 2026, with the spring race in April and the autumn race in October. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
