Pony Hollow Trail 15K Run
OCT 28 2023 9:00 AM
Event Summary
Clayton County Conservation invites you to the Annual Pony Hollow Trail 15k on October 28, 2023. The 15k race will wind you around the Elkader City Park before taking you out and back on the scenic, flat, lime-chipped Pony Hollow Trail (PHT) and finally ending on a grass mowed firebreak trail. You will appreciate the fall beauty of this lime-chip trail as it meanders in the trees along the Turkey River and Robert’s Creek.
Race swag is only guaranteed to all those that pre-register before October 23rd. All online registrations close at 1 pm on October 27th. Mailed in registrations must also be received by Oct. 27th.
15k Adult: $35 thru Oct. 27, $45 race day
15k Child (17 & under): $25 thru Oct. 27, $35 race day
15k for runners only, 5k for runners and walkers and register on the 5k event registration page
Packet pickup will be from 7:30-8:45am on race day at the Floral Hall shelter house located in the Elkader City Park. There is also parking and bathrooms located in this area for your convenience.
Race will start promptly at 9 AM near the south trailhead. No parking will be allowed at the start/finish on High Street. Please use the city park and pool parking lot.
The funds raised from this race will be used for future trail expansion efforts to join the two Pony Hollow trail heads into a continuous loop. Part of the funds have been secured through grant dollars (Wellmark Large Match Grant $100,000, Upper Mississippi Gaming Grant $48,375, TAP $192,000) but we need matching dollars to complete the project. Not a runner but still want to support this project? Donations can be accepted at Clayton County Conservation.
There will be no refunds if the event is canceled or the participant chooses not to participate. Consider your contribution a donation to the PHT project.
