Great River Bridge Race

The Great River Bridge Race, held annually in Burlington, Iowa, offers a unique opportunity to cross the Great River Bridge on foot, an experience usually closed to pedestrians. The event features timed 10k and 5k races, as well as a 1.5-mile untimed Bridge Walk, catering to all skill levels. Starting and finishing at the Port of Burlington, participants enjoy scenic views of the Mississippi River and downtown Burlington.

Proceeds support local park improvements, including the Dankwardt Park Playground. Registration includes a soft cotton t-shirt (if registered early) and medals for top finishers. The race fosters community spirit and promotes outdoor activity in a vibrant atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
