Run for the Schools

Since 1999, this race, sponsored by MidWestOne Bank and organized by Iowa City Road Races, has been a significant supporter of the Iowa City Community School District and Regina Catholic schools. Through donations exceeding $1,000,000, it has made a substantial impact on our community schools.

The Run for the Schools event serves as a crucial fundraiser for the Iowa City Community School District. The funds raised for ICCSD schools go to support the Foundation for the ICCSD’s Excellence Fund, benefiting various programs such as School of the Wild, Any Given Child Fine Arts experiences, the Big Idea Hunt, resources for Student Family Advocates and staff recognition and events.

Our 2024 race raised over $31,500 for the ICCSD! This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the support from our sponsors and the efforts of all participants. Photos of the 2024 run can be found here. 

Mark your calendars for October 12, 2025!

The Run for the Schools race for 25-26 is set to take place on Sunday, October 12, 2025. This family-friendly event offers participants a range of distances to choose from – Half-Mile, Mile, 5K, or 10K – and the opportunity to run, walk, or volunteer.
