The Arrowhead Trail Run is returning for another competition on Saturday, April 23, 2022! The run is a 5k marked course on the scenic trails and grounds of Arrowhead Park in Neola, Iowa, and takes place the day after Earth Day.

There are multiple options for competitors, including the traditional 5k, a two-lap 10k, or complete as many laps as you can in the 4-hour Enduro race! The top three males and female finishers in each category will receive medals. Walkers and hikers are encouraged to participate, too!

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Pottawattamie County Trails Association and their effort to build a paved bike and running trail connecting Neola, Underwood, and Council Bluffs, Iowa. Come support the good cause and have some fun while doing so!

4 Hour Enduro: Starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at noon

5k Runners: Start at 9:00 a.m.
