About the race
Rust Buster 5K, held in Waterloo, Nebraska at Two Rivers State Park, kicks off the 2026 Winter Fitness Series. The event features a 5K distance on a flat, fast, scenic 1.5-mile closed-loop course through the park, typically run as multiple laps. It is the first race in a trio that also includes the Full Wolf Moon 5K and the Valentine’s Day 5K, with all three races sharing the same looped course ambiance.
A special medal awaits participants who complete all three events. Proceeds benefit the USATF Nebraska Association Long Distance Running program, promoting health and youth fitness. The event fosters a welcoming, community vibe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
