Course Description:
This scenic race starts and finishes at splendid Ralston Park. You’ll
run past a breathtaking bluff view overlooking the Mighty Mississippi
River along with three States from an area known as “The Point.” A State
Memorial, commemorating the site of Ft. Edwards, a strategically
located US Army post during the War of 1812, marks the location. You
will wrap around this area, passing Ralston Park, and on to our lovely
Main Street. Following this, you’ll come upon the steep descent of
“Elevator Hill.” The route then turns along the Mississippi River flats.
You will pass Warsaw’s historic Battery Factory as you turn to face the
race’s challenging “Warrior Hill”, which is about 2/3 of the way
through the race. Enjoy the incredible view, as the course weaves you
through the picturesque, historic town of Warsaw. The route has many
historical sites, and the streets are lined with beautifully restored
homes of various architectural styles.
Walkers Welcome! Strollers and headphones allowed. Please no pets, bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards, or scooters.
Septemberfest:
Bring the family along. Once the run is complete, stay at Ralston Park
to enjoy the festivities of Septemberfest! It’s a family friendly day of
entertainment, kids games, food, crafts, and other activities
celebrating life in a small community. Check out the Septemberfest Facebook page for more details!
