The Grimes Farm Run

A GF summer event since the dawn of the new millenium.

Every summer, usually in the first couple of weeks of July, Grimes Farm presents the Grimes Farm Run. Originally, this was simply a 5K run catering to the local running community. Since its inception, though, the Run has become increasingly popular, and now it features everything from a five-mile loop, to shorter walks and children's races. The trails themselves are groomed and certified for the occasion, and an army of volunteers helps to keep everyone well fed and on track.

We hope you can join us next July for the 11th running of the Grimes Farm Run! It's a delightful event in a beautiful place--and all proceeds go promote conservation and natural spaces in central Iowa. For current information about the forthcoming Run, as well as some legacy pictures from the 2009 and 2010 editions, please consult the GF blog—a subscription to the blog's RSS feed will guarantee that you won't miss the preparations for the next run!
