2026 Pony Hollow Trail 5K & 15K race

Race Information

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. The 5k will be a simple out and back on the PHT for runners or walkers.
