Join us for this Labor Day Weekend tradition! The NewBo Run Half Marathon & 10K features Prairie Park Fishery, the Sac and Fox Trail, and the Indian Creek Nature Center.
Both races start and finish in the NewBo City Market, located in the NewBo district of Cedar Rapids. The race partners with many of the neighborhood’s favorite businesses support the run with fresh-baked treats, locally-brewed beer, shirts, and hand-crafted finisher medals and age group awards for the Half Marathon & 10k runners.
Cutoff time for the half marathon is 3 hours.
Race Week Details
We look forward to seeing on Sunday September 1st for one of the corridors favorite fall races - the NewBo 10k and Half Marathon! In preparation for the race, we want to share a few things.
Course
There have been changes to the course this year due to construction. Both races will start in front of NewBo market on 3rdSt. SE and head north, turning right on 10th Ave SE. For the half-marathoners, instead of turning left to run north on Bertram Rd., you will be directed south for a short down-and-back before looping back on to the Sac and Fox trail (this was the same for 2023 route). Please see the updated half marathon course here.
For the 10k runners, we have bonus distance for you this year! After working extensively with Cedar Rapids police department, county officials, and our timing partners, there is no logistical way to reach the 10k distance. The 10k route this year will be 0.3mi long for a total of 6.5 super fun awesome miles.
The course will be well marked with signs and volunteer help. Also, while we communicate race logistics with the CRANDIC Railway, they cannot guarantee no trains will pass during the run. Please maintain awareness of your surroundings as the course does cross the railway in two locations and we cannot guarantee there will be no trains on race morning.
Packet Pickup
Packet pick-up is Saturday August 31st from 10am-2pm at NewBo City Market (1100 3rd St. SE, Cedar Rapids, IA ). We will be outside under the awning. For any friends interested in joining you, runners can register during packet pickup. There will be NO DAY OF REGISTRATION. Limited day of race packet pickup from 6am-6:30am.
Heat Safety
Iowa has been experiencing record high temperatures. We encourage all runners to avoid dehydration by pre-hydrating and to hydrate wisely during your run. There will be aid stations with water and Gatorade at approx. miles 1, 2.2, 3, 4.7, 5.7, 7.2, 8.5, 10, 11, and 12. Dress appropriately for the weather, know the signs of heat illness, and seek help when needed. There will be limited police along the course and a bike sweeper for runner safety.
Pacers
We will not have pacers this year. We look forward to brining this back in future years once registration creeps back to pre-covid numbers.
