John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum 5K - IA

This webpage is for the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum race on June 7th. For information on the August 2024/2025 Waterloo Works 5K here for more details! 

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! This race will be hosted at the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum where you can race with John Deere employees and community members of the Cedar Valley. This flat, closed-to-traffic loop is great for serious racers and fun runners alike.

We'll have a kids' race "The Spoker Sprint" start at 7:30 a.m. and our 5K starts at 8:00 a.m. Stick around after the race for John Deere Kids activities and awards! The museum will be open for visitors, so after the race you can stick around for family fun!

John Deere will be donating a portion of your 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.
