John Deere Waterloo 5K

Join us for John Deere Waterloo Operation's 23th Annual 5K run/walk Saturday, August 17th, 2024! This will be our seventh year at the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum where you can race with coworkers and community members of the Cedar Valley. This flat, closed-to-traffic loop is great for serious racers and fun runners alike.

We'll have kids' races start at 7:30 a.m. and our 5K start at 8:00 a.m. Stick around after the race for kids' activities, breakfast, and awards! The museum opens at 9:00 a.m. for visitors so after the race you can learn about John Deere's history in Waterloo.

Packet pick up will be at the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum Friday, August 16th from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and Saturday morning before the race. Day of registration will also be available until race start.
