Woodpecker Six - Central City, IA
Woodpecker Six is a six hour endurance run held on November 14, 2026, in Pinicon Ridge Park in Central City, IA. Organized by LoKeyz Trail Runners, the event uses a wooded trail course inside the park and asks participants to see how many miles they can complete in the six hour format. Runners may run or walk as much or as little as they prefer.
The course is an approximately 1.2 mile trail loop with two large climbs, multiple stairs, and mostly woodland trails. Each loop has roughly 215 feet of elevation gain. Course direction changes every two hours so participants complete loops in both directions.
Event services include hearty hot aid station foods and warm and cold beverages at the start/finish area, a long sleeve race shirt, and special awards for runners who complete 24 loops or more. Any additional event funds will be donated to Pinicon Ridge Park for trail improvements. Woodpecker lodge offers heated indoor space for runner drop bags and outdoor space for canopies and staging. The event proceeds in rain or snow. Pets and strollers are not permitted. The listed entry fee is $70.71 USD. Registration closes on Wednesday, November 11; the last date to guarantee a race shirt is Sunday, October 25. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
