Welcome To The hawkeye 200!
Ultraverse Supplements is excited to bring you yet another opportunity for an unforgettable multi-day adventure. This is now the 6th race on our schedule (in 4 different states) that would allow for runners to eclipse the 200-mile mark, and it is unique from anything else out there.
It is a mostly non-repetitive 200 that consists of mostly PAVED trails inaccessible to motor vehicles. We are not aware of any other point-to-point mostly paved 200’s. Another unique feature: we consider this a “semi-self-supported” race, in that there are long stretches between aid stations, and runners are expected to use services along the trail. That said, we will have fantastic aid/sleep stations along the route (mostly indoor). We are so excited to bring this amazing race to Iowa!
Please make sure to read the runner’s manual below before registering!

HAWKEYE 200 COURSE INFO
The race begins in Marshalltown and finishes in Jefferson, utilizing a mix of Iowa’s premier trail systems, including paved (mostly), crushed limestone, dirt, and grass surfaces. The route follows the Linn Creek Rec Trail, Iowa HWY 330 Trail, Heart of Iowa Nature Trail, High Trestle Trail, 9-Mile Connector Trail, and the Raccoon River Valley Trail.
CalTopo Map (subject to change)
Where trail systems are not yet connected or remain incomplete, runners will encounter a handful of short dirt-road diversions. These sections account for approximately 10 miles total across the 200-mile course and are the only portions where vehicle traffic may be present outside of standard road crossings and in-town travel.
