Overview
Before you take on the rolling hills, endless gravel, and rugged Level B roads that define this one-of-a-kind Iowa course, swing by to grab your race packet, dial in your gear, get expert advice from REI’s trail-running pros, and set yourself up for success. The Booneville Backroads Ultra isn’t your average run. It winds through the iconic Bridges of Madison County and stretches deep into Iowa’s rural countryside, where scenic views meet relentless elevation and unpredictable terrain. From the “tuffest” 10K to the full 100-mile push, this course rewards grit, preparation, and a willingness to venture off the beaten path. There will be no race-day pickup, so this is your chance to get everything you need in hand. If you’re running the 50K, 100K, or 100-mile distances, this is also when you’ll drop your aid station bags and lock in your race strategy.
