John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum 5K Walk/Run

Description

Join us at the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum to celebrate the history of John Deere in Waterloo! Waterloo is the official site of the first John Deere tractor factory and has been home to John Deere Waterloo Works for over 100 years! The 5K Walk/Run will be hosted at the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum.  The flat, closed-to-traffic loop is great for serious racers and fun runners alike. 

The kids' race "The Spoker Sprint" starts at 7:30 a.m. and the 5K starts at 8:00 a.m. Medals will be awarded following the conclusion of the 5K. The fun doesn't end with the run! This year, the 5K is a part of our larger two-day event, Deere Days at the Museum (Friday, June 12th 12pm-7pm and Saturday, June 13th 7:30am-3pm)! Stick around for outdoor and indoor exhibits, blacksmith demos, STEAM on Wheels, a tractor show and more! The museum will also be open for visitors, so make sure to check out the exhibits. 

John Deere will be donating a portion of the registration fee to Northeast Iowa Foodbank to help end hunger because no person should ever have to go hungry. Right now, one in six people in Northeast Iowa don’t have enough to eat. When supporting the food bank we help provide food and hope to hungry children, families and seniors right here in our community. Together, we can fight hunger in Northeast Iowa.
