Enjoy the best of the Ewalu trails in the beautiful fall season! Run or walk alongside the beautiful Maquoketa River, through quiet forests on well-kept and well-marked trails.
The 2nd Annual Grotto Gallop Trail Run will consist of two events—a 5K trail run/walk and an orienteering race (approximately 2.5 miles in length). Both events will start and finish at the Creation Center on the Ewalu main site, 3 miles west of Strawberry Point.
5K trail run details: The course is 95% on trails, including both single- and double-track, grassy trails, rocky trails, and gravel trails. You’ll see a little bit of everything in only a few miles! A great course for families and walkers, while still challenging for trail runners!
Orienteering race details: Use only your compass and a map provided at the Race Start to find checkpoints, punching them in order. This race is both on-trail and off-trail, so dress appropriately for moving through the forest! The race format is line or point-to-point orienteering. Navigation will be moderately challenging. Note: The Orienteering race course will be set for this event only and is not the same as the year-round O-course at Ewalu.
