About this Event
River Ridge Challenge 2025
A community-driven event! -- A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Friends of Bellevue State Park to help continue their amazing work on park improvements!
The toughest 😉 (and most rewarding) challenge in Bellevue is BACK!
Saturday, April 26th
Starts & Ends at River Ridge Brewing, 303 S Riverview St, Bellevue, Iowa
Race begins at 9 AM
As we always say, start prepping those legs for that hill and those arms for those well-earned beer curls because it’s time for the 5-kish... non-qualifying... non-timed River Ridge Challenge!
The Route: Choose Your Challenge!
The Classic Route (1.78 miles)
- Walk or run from the brewery to Felderman Park.
- Make a loop, enjoy a complimentary brew, snap a selfie, and take in the nature views.
- Head back to the brewery, cross the unofficial finish line, and celebrate with another cold one!
The FULL River Ridge Challenge (3.19 miles)
- After Felderman Park, cross the bridge into Bellevue State Park.
- Face the Quarry Trail! Climb up, touch the "YOU MADE IT" sign, and conquer Bellevue’s biggest hill.
- Make your way back to the brewery, where a medal and an ice-cold beer await you. You earned it.
Then, stick around for food, live music, and post-race brews on the patio!
Came for the challenge. Stayed for the beer.
