The largest cross country race in North America

MassiveDelta

Its getting ready to open up for registration. The 34th annual Living History Farms Race. Limited to 7500 runner again this year. This race is so big it sells out in 3-5 days.

I ran it last year for the first time. Its an awesome experience. You think the warrior dash and mud runs are fun? This thing is Awesome. 7-8 Creek crossings in the middle of November. Sometimes they are frozen solid sometimes they aren't. Sometimes there is Snow sometimes there is mud.

Its truly an amazing thing to be a apart of and the costumes are fantastic. Plus what race serves you Fresh hot Iowa Beef stew after the race.

If you are near Iowa or live in Iowa you should totally do it!


Race entry opens on Sept. 28, 2012

You should do it this year. Its not ultra competitive.

Maybe if it was shorter. 7 miles seems very unlikely at this point But I will think about it.

A bit far to travel but that looks like a riot!
