Welcome to the Mississippi Valley Running Association

Our mission is to strengthen our community through service and charitable giving by encouraging and supporting a healthy and active mind and body.  This is achieved by providing education, race and social experiences for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit running club in the tri-states area.

Our Races

Each year, we host two races – the 10K/5K trail race on Heritage Trail, and the Benefit Classic half marathon in downtown, Dubuque.

Registration for the 2024 Trail Run and Benefit Classic is now open – click below to get the details!
