Wapsi Wiggle Half Marathon

The Wapsi Wiggle is a running event held in Riceville, Iowa, featuring a timed half marathon and a 5K run/walk. Both races start and finish at the WGWL Trailhead & Welcome Center, with courses that are out-and-back on a paved trail passing through farmland, woods, and restored prairie. The half marathon is a training event, while the 5K includes age-category awards.

A free kids' half-mile fun run is also offered for children 10 and under. Registered participants enjoy a complimentary all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast. Proceeds support the Mitchell County Regional Health Center's Riceville Clinic, adding a charitable aspect to this community-focused race.
