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. 

Cost: $45 - $70
