Both race distances have a number of advantages over other races. Read on and find out why! All participants are encouraged to use on-line registation.

TEAM RUNABLAZE MEMBERS TO APPEAR AT PARK TO PARK Trekman racing strives to promote the great sport of running, wellness and community enrichment through high quality racing events that donate money to local charities. This fall a special group of female runners that belong to a team called RunAblaze will be coming to compete, and they are deserving of attention and your awareness. Reading the list of female athletes associated with RunAblaze is like reading the awards results at many great Iowa races. Last year team member Melinda Courage-Carlberg smashed the old Park to Park record. Unlike NASCAR our sport does not get big money from big companies, instead homegrown talent is in need of local support and I hope you will be inspired to read on and consider making a donation to the effort. Trekman Racing will be making a $500 donation to the team to assist with their goals at the awards ceremony after the half marathon.
