St. Vincent DePaul Run/Walk/Bike for the Poor
Join us for a day of running, walking, and biking to support the vital work of St. Vincent DePaul in our community. This event is held on the scenic Heritage Trail, a converted railroad bed that winds through a tree-covered canopy alongside the Little Maquoketa River, featuring limestone bluffs. It's an easy, almost flat trail perfect for all participants.
