I first ran this route as the BRR Ride (Bike Ride to Rippey) in 2013 to raise awareness for Hunger in the Heartland and had run it multiple times since. To be honest, the first time I did this race I was completely under-dressed (don’t make my same mistake). I thought it would be a fun idea to make it an official race for runners who wish to run along side and support the bicyclist who participant in the BRR Ride. I hope you enjoy this event as much as I have and experience the best (and usually coldest) half marathon to the coolest small town in Iowa, Rippey.
