Packet Pick-up News

Hi all you Royal Runners!

This is just a reminder that packet pick-up is from 7 - 9 p.m. tonight at the Ida Grove Community Rec Center - 311 Barnes Street. We also have packet pick up from 7 - 7:30 a.m. tomorrow, race day, at the same location. Please enter the community room just to the left as you enter the rec center.

5K and 10K participants will have their numbered bib and t-shirt waiting as well as a race day bag that includes an energy gel for race-day energy. There is also a coupon for a 75 cents off a frappe or smoothie from Cinnamon Stone (open 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday) as well as a FREE single dip of ice cream from Ida Grove Pharmacy (open 8 to 4)! The Cinnamon Stone will accept their coupons beyond race day but the FREE ice cream from Ida Grove Pharmacy is only good on race day.

5K and 10K participants who register today or tomorrow may have to have their t-shirt mailed.

1K kids' participants will pick up their numbered bib only - they will all get a medal as they cross the finish line as well as a bag of goodies, including that same FREE scoop of ice cream from Ida Grove Pharmacy.

1K Race starts at 8 a.m. at Godbersen Park, with the 5K and 10K events soon after. Presentation of medals and prize drawings at approximately 9:45 a.m. at Godbersen Park - if there is rain, the prize drawings will be held at the Ida Grove Rec Center where you picked up your packets.

Finally... if you are an out-of-town participant, show your race-day bib at the Ida Grove Rec Center for free use of the locker and shower facilities.

Looking forward to seeing you for our third Ida Grove Royal Run!

12 Days and Counting

Our Ida Grove Royal Run has the best volunteers for its 1K, 5K, and 10K events... our chief concern is your enjoyment AND safety. While our run is primarily on our Pleasant Valley Trail, it does intersect a few intersections in our northwest Iowa community so we wanted to make sure you are covered with the best volunteers in the Midwest! So all you have to do when you are in Ida Grove is RUN HAPPY!
