Yippee-Ki-Yay 50k

The Yippee-Ki-Yay 50K, Half Marathon, and 10K races take place annually in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the scenic Wabash Trace Nature Trail. This event features a Rails-to-Trails course with a fine crushed limestone surface, offering beautiful Heartland countryside views. Runners can choose from a 50K ultra marathon, half marathon, or 10K, all out-and-back routes starting and finishing at the Iowa West Foundation Trail Head Park.

The 50K course is known as one of the fastest average finisher courses in the Midwest. The race is chip-timed with aid stations providing water, sports drinks, gels, and ultra food. The event limits participation to 250 runners, creating an intimate and supportive atmosphere.

Participants receive a finisher medal, lightweight hoodie, and other swag. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
