Living History Farms XC Race
11/17/07  Urbandale, IA

Living History Hoopla

As you look in front of you, there are people as far as you can see… running! When you look behind you, there are people as far as you can see… running! You see cowboys, and Indians, and bees, and Superman, and Snow White, and running Crayons… is this another one of your crazy dreams?  No, it’s the Living History Farms race… North America’s largest cross country race!

BentVenture.com went to Urbandale Iowa to run in this race back on November 17. It was perhaps one of the most fun events we have done yet. It’s a seven mile run that is somewhat of a mix between a cross-country race and an adventure race. While the event was all running, it required you to cross several creeks, and crawl up very steep hills.

The Race

Going into the Living History Farms Off Road Race, I wasn’t sure what to expect exactly.  Sure, I had a general idea, but with nearly 7,000 other participants, I knew this would be a unique experience.

Inspiration

I was inspired by someone that I met at the Living History Farms race in Urbandale Iowa this past weekend. It was one of those moments when you think to yourself… “Wow, that’s pretty amazing!”
