ScoCo50 - Long Grove, IA
ScoCo50 is a trail race event at Scott County Park near Long Grove, Iowa, offering three distances:
- 50K - three laps of the main loop
- 10 Miler - one full loop of the main course
- 5 Miler - a shorter course using portions of the main loop
The primary course is a roughly 10 mile loop with about 950 feet of elevation gain per loop. The 5 Miler covers smaller sections and has about 450 feet of elevation gain. Trails are a mix of dirt and grass through wooded and prairie areas, with a few short stretches adjacent to the paved park road that have a softer shoulder to run on. The park includes family amenities and campgrounds near the start at Whispering Pines Shelter.
Aid support includes one fully stocked station at the start/finish and an on-course aid station around the five mile mark for the 50K and 10 Miler. The 5 Miler has water available near its midpoint. Drop bags are allowed at aid stations; crew access is limited to the start/finish station. Pacers are permitted only for the 50K and may join at the start/finish for the final loop. Trekking poles are allowed; dogs and bicycles are not.
Registration is online only. No refunds or bib transfers are offered. A deferral option provides a one-year rollover credit per the event policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
