Frosty Buns Race Series - January, February, March
Black Hawk County Conservation will be hosting the Frosty Buns Winter Racing Series, located in and around Black Hawk County. This race series is comprised of 3 races - Iowa Games Championship Snowshoe Race, Winter Warrior Duathlon, and The Sticky Stride. With this series, we hope to promote outdoor activities and wild spaces right here in our own backyards. All races will take place on public land, taking advantage of both natural and enhanced features that make the Cedar Valley a great place to recreate - even in the Winter!
