St. Vincent DePaul Run for the Poor

The St. Vincent DePaul Run/Walk/Bike for the Poor is held at Heritage Pond in Dubuque, Iowa, featuring a scenic course on the Heritage Trail, a converted railroad bed along the Little Maquoketa River with limestone bluffs and tree canopy. The event offers two timed running races: a 5 km and a 5 mile run on the same mostly flat trail.

Walking and biking are also included but are untimed, with biking participants able to choose from three routes varying in distance and difficulty. The event aims to raise funds to support local people in need, with over $143,000 recently spent on rental and utility assistance and household essentials. Entry fees are $30, and prizes totaling over $300 are awarded. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
