Pleasant Creek Trail Run

The Pleasant Creek Trail Run, held in Palo, Iowa, is an annual trail running event featuring three race distances: 15K, 30K, and 45K. The course runs on Pleasant Creek’s outer equestrian trail loop, primarily on dirt and grass trails with rolling hills and occasional small water crossings. All races start near the playground park area and run counter-clockwise, with multiple loops for longer distances.

The event offers awards for top finishers by gender and age groups, along with cash prizes and record-breaking bonuses. Participants enjoy a friendly atmosphere with a post-race cookout and beverages. The run is organized by the Eastern Iowa Trail Alliance and is part of the No Coast Trail Series.
