Woodpecker Six
Central City, United States • 8 Nov 2025
Event
Woodpecker Six is a six hour endurance run organized by LoKeyz Trail Runners. It takes place on Saturday, November 8, 2025, in Central City, Iowa (4732 Horseshoe Falls Rd). The format asks participants to complete as many loops of the course as they can within six hours; runners may alternate running and walking. Course direction changes every two hours so participants run the loop in both directions.
Course and services
The course is inside the 966-acre Linn County Pinicon Ridge Park and uses an approximately 1.2 mile trail loop. Each loop includes two large climbs with multiple stairs and about 215 feet of elevation gain. The event provides aid station foods and warm and cold beverages at the start/finish area, a long-sleeve race shirt, and heated lodge space for drop bags; outdoor space for canopies is also available. Any remaining funds from the race will be donated to Pinicon Ridge Park for trail improvements. Special awards are planned for runners who complete 24 loops or more. The event does not allow pets or strollers and will proceed in rain or snow. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
