Lake Macbride Trail Races

The Lake Macbride Trail Races, held in Solon, Iowa, offer two challenging trail running distances: 50K and 25K. Set in the scenic Lake Macbride State Park, Iowa's largest state park, the course features a mix of crushed limestone trails, technical snowmobile trails, single track, prairie, and hills. The race starts and finishes at the Macbride Spillway parking area, with runners crossing the spillway twice per loop.

The 50K race consists of two loops, while the 25K is a single loop. Aid stations are well-stocked and positioned throughout the course. The event emphasizes a community atmosphere with a post-race party and volunteer involvement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
