From the organizer

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois proudly presents the 42nd Annual Red Shoe Run & Walk 5K!

This annual event raises critical funds and awareness to support our mission of keeping families close to each other—and close to the care they need—when they need it the most.

Participants can run, walk, or join virtually, making this a truly family-friendly event open to all ages and ability levels. Strollers and leashed pets are welcome. Race begins and ends at Lower City Park in Iowa City. On-site festivities include pre-race snacks, a kids zone, and awards for top runners across multiple age groups. After the race, stick around and enjoy a FREE lunch on us!

T-Shirt Info: Register by April 1 to guarantee your official Red Shoe Run T-shirt. Registrations after April 1 will receive shirts on a first-come, first-served basis at packet pickup and on race day.

🚨 NEW for 2026: An updated race route (still starting and ending at Lower City Park) is coming soon—stay tuned!
