Sycamore 8

About the Event

This hidden gem takes place the first weekend in December following the single-track dirt trail of the Sycamore Trail along the Des Moines River. Unpredictable winter weather in Iowa has brought rain, snow, and negative temps but has also brought picturesque 50-degree days and some of the fastest dirt trails in the state.

This race caters to veteran and new trail runners alike. With rolling single track, vast views of the Des Moines River and ever present wildlife, you don't want to miss your chance at a Des Moines tradition of capping off the racing season. Register early as entries are capped at 300 participants.

Facilities

Porta-Potties will be available at the Start/Finish Area.

Course

The course will be marked with flags on the ground and fluorescent ribbons on trees. Pay attention to these markers to avoid getting lost.

Water

There will be one water stop at the mid point, and water and Gatorade will be available. If you will need more hydration than this provides, please bring your own bottle.
