The Driftless Half Marathon
The Driftless Half Marathon takes place in Lansing, Iowa, during the peak leaf season of northeast Iowa. The course follows the Great River National Scenic Byway, providing participants with views of the natural landscape and the autumn foliage.
The route includes a detour onto Red Oak Road, where runners can view the Mississippi River. The event offers multiple distance options to accommodate different preferences:
- Half Marathon: 13.1 Miles
