The Mines of Spain Trail Races, held in Dubuque, Iowa, offer runners three challenging distances: a half marathon, 7-mile, and 4-mile race. Set in the scenic Mines of Spain State Recreation Area, the courses feature diverse terrain including dirt single and double tracks, prairie grass trails, rocky technical sections, and steep climbs, with stunning views of the Mississippi River. The event emphasizes environmental sustainability with a cup-free race and zero waste approach.

Aid stations provide water, nutrition drinks, and snacks. A free Mini-Mines race for children under 12 is also held. Post-race festivities include local craft beer and brick oven pizza, supporting trail maintenance and conservation efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
