Adel, IA
The course follows the parade route through downtown Adel, which means spectators are lining the streets when you run through. The organizers describe it as challenging, so expect some variation in the terrain rather than a purely flat road race. The crowd presence gives it more of a main-street-event feel than a typical early-morning 5K.
