Lake Macbride Trail Races

The Lake Macbride Trail Races, held in Solon, Iowa, offer challenging 50K and 25K trail runs around Lake Macbride State Park, Iowa's largest state park. The course features one or two loops starting and finishing at the Macbride Spillway parking area. Runners experience a mix of crushed limestone trails, technical snowmobile trails, single track, prairie, and hills, with four well-stocked aid stations per loop.

The race emphasizes trail running, avoiding major roads, and includes a festive post-race party. Registration is capped at 175 runners to ensure quality race management. Awards are given to top finishers by gender and age groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
