$A Midsummer Night\u2019s Run$

Chase golden hour and run into the night at the Iowa Trail Run Series: Midsummer Night’s Run. Held just outside Ames at the beautiful McFarland Park, this one-of-a-kind event flips the script with an evening start and a finish under the stars.
Choose from 5K (ish) and 10K (ish) distances and take on smooth, rolling trails as the sun sets and the bonfire starts to glow. The vibes are unmatched—cooler temps, summer energy, and that magical transition from daylight to dusk that makes every mile feel different.
And the finish? That’s where the real fun begins. Stick around for a post-race bonfire, s’mores, Exile brews and a laid-back hang with the trail running community. It’s not just a race—it’s a summer night experience you won’t want to miss.
