Please join us Saturday, May 17th 2025 for 5k-ish and 10k-ish trail running events on the beautiful single track trails at Sunderbruch Park in Davenport, Iowa presented by the Quad Cities Trail & Ultra Runners - (QC-TUR) and Sun Trail Running!
Low registration fee covers the basics for the race, on course and start/finish aid, a piece of custom race swag, an awesome post race potluck with a ton of free bacon and craft beer and a guaranteed donation to Friends of Off Road Cycling (FORC) who are the awesome mountain bikers that built and maintain the beautiful trails at Sunderbruch.
We are a cup-free race!
This means that you should carry fluids on you or at least bring means of filling up from the aid stations on course if needed. It also means that you should bring your favorite drinking vessel for post-race refreshments. An easy solution for this is keeping handy the B&B mug everyone gets as part of registration!
We'll also have a limited supply of nice collapsible silicone cups that are easy to stash and run with on sale at packet pickup Friday PM & Saturday AM.
Course:
Distances will be measured but more than likely won't be exactly 5k/10k. No whining. B&B is about having fun, enjoying the trails & the company of your fellow trail runners and partaking in some delicious bacon & beer!
The ~5k will mostly follow the green and some of the blue MTB trails and will be pretty flat with just rolling little inclines. The ~10k will cover a mixture of dirt trails within the park and will include some quick sharp descents and climbs mixed with some more technical sections. The ~10k course has evolved from year to year to provide the most fun, challenging and rewarding route possible for runners so expect some variation from year to year! The course is usually about 90% dirt single track with a short section of wide mowed grass trails mid race and a short parade loop in the parking lot at the start to help spread runners out before hitting the single track. Both courses are ideal trail running whether you're a speedy trail veteran or a middle to back of the pack trail rookie! We always have lots of first time trail runners and racers and we've never lost a single one! We always encourage folks to challenge themselves but please note, the ~10k is generally a fairly challenging course considering the distance and the ~5k is definitely more suited for newer and/or slower trail runners. The course will close at the 3 hour mark and volunteers will be pulled from the course then or whenever the last runner passes them, whichever comes first. If you feel you cannot complete the 10k in the allotted time, please consider switching to the 5k.
Sorry, no strollers or pets allowed on course but please feel free to bring your well behaved children and/or puppies to join in on the post race festivities!
