About the Miles 4 Love Half Marathon & 5K
The course follows riverfront trails along the Cedar River through Waverly, so the surroundings are open and natural rather than urban. The terrain reads as runnable path, and the river stays close enough to be part of the experience throughout.
The race benefits a children's charity, with a share of proceeds going to support NICU families. Cheering sections are planned at points along the route, which matters on a course where some stretches are quiet trail.
