Sturgis Falls Half Marathon

As many as 1,000 runners and walkers or more cross the finish line each year at the Sturgis Falls Half Marathon & 5K, a race named for the city’s founders and its original town name (Sturgis Falls, now called Cedar Falls in part because of its location near the Cedar River).

This year’s running of the race will mark its annual anniversary, and it’s one of several local races organized by the Cedar River Runners Club that sponsors the race.

Start and finish of all events will be at the Cedar Falls Recreation Center – 13th St. and Main St., Cedar Falls, IA 50613.
