Wabash Trace Running Festival Race Details
The latest details from your Race Directors:
Welcome to one of the Midwest’s most scenic and runnable trail experiences. The Wabash Trace Running Festival takes you along the iconic Wabash Trace Nature Trail—a crushed limestone rail-trail that winds through rolling countryside, quiet farmland, and tree-lined stretches that feel miles away from the noise of everyday life.
Whether you’re chasing a Boston Qualifier, building toward your next big race, or just looking for a beautiful place to run, this course delivers a smooth, fast, and incredibly enjoyable trail experience.
With distances for everyone, this is a weekend built for runners, families, and the entire community:
Full Marathon – Go the distance on a peaceful, out-and-back style course that showcases the best of the trail
Half Marathon – The perfect balance of challenge and flow on a scenic stretch of the Trace
10K & 5K– Fast, approachable, and fun—ideal for newer runners or those looking to race shorter distances
Free Kids Race – Because the next generation of runners deserves their moment too
Expect a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere with just the right amount of race-day energy. You’ll find well-stocked aid stations, a supportive running community, and a finish line that feels earned.
This isn’t just another race—it’s a chance to unplug, move, and experience one of Iowa’s most beloved trails in a whole new way.
