April 2019 – No Coast Trail Series

The 2nd race in the 2019 No Coast Trail Series took place over the weekend at the Hawkeye 50K/25K with runners taking on a fun and varied course that included a mix of lakeside trails, dirt single track, country roads and the infamous spillway crossing! The weather cooperated graciously and runners were treated to perfect spring weather for their race day!

Congratulations to No Coast runners Ross Salinas (50K), Sarah Kromminga (25K), Stacy Purnell (25K), Michala Mielke (50K) and Kelly Mueller (50K) for their top performances and a special congrats to everyone who ran their first ultra at Hawkeye this weekend! Way to go!!!

We get a short break from No Coast racing this next month and resume again at the Sunderbruch B&B Trail Races in Davenport on May 18th and the Booneville Backroads Ultra south of Des Moines on May 25th!
