About the Event

The 20th Annual Elma Days 5k/10k follows the Old Roundhouse Trail and concludes just north of the water tower in Elma. There will be breakfast (included in the entry fee) and an awards presentation that will begin immediately following the race at the Memorial Hall. Join us on one of the flattest, fastest, scenic, and certified (IA 10011MF) courses in Northeast Iowa! The 10K race will start in Elma at the finish line, run out to Lylah's Marsh (3.1 miles), turn around, and run back into Elma (6.2 miles). The 5k participants will be bussed to Lylah's Marsh and run into Elma. Gatorade and water will be available at Lylah's Marsh. 

Get your Groove on this year and come run in your best Groovy attire! Peace out!
