Woodpecker Six

The Woodpecker Six is a six-hour endurance run held at Linn County Pinicon Ridge Park near Central City, Iowa. The course is a 1.2-mile trail loop inside the park, which covers 966 wooded acres. The trail is hilly and mostly woodland, with two large climbs that include multiple stairs. Each loop has an elevation gain of approximately 215 feet.

An aid station at the start/finish line provides hot food and beverages. Participants receive a long sleeve race shirt. Heated indoor space is available in the Woodpecker lodge for a runner drop bag, and there is also outdoor space for canopies. The event takes place regardless of rain or snow.
