Trestle Hustle
The 16th Annual Trestle Hustle took place on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at the High Trestle Trail in Madrid. With 167 participants—our biggest turnout ever!—athletes came from all across Iowa and beyond, including Nebraska, Arizona, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Maryland, as well as several virtual racers who completed their events from home.
Despite hot and windy conditions, participants in the 5K, 10K, and Duathlon (run, bike, run) pushed through with determination and grit. The event once again served as the kickoff to High Trestle Fest, celebrating the communities along the High Trestle Trail.
The overall winners were:
- Duathlon (Male): Mark Creger
- Duathlon (Female): Aryn McLaren
- Duathlon (Relay): The Speedy Sernetts
- 5K (Male): Chris Stevenson
- 5K (Female): Susan Short
- 10K (Male): Yomma Quingyow
- 10K (Female): Elizabeth Kraayenbrink
All finishers received a medal, running socks, and trail mix donated by the BCH Auxiliary. Refreshments were provided by Keurig Dr Pepper and Culligan. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the many volunteers who made the day run smoothly—from packet pickup and check-in to water stations and route support. Special thanks to the BCH Engineering Department, BCH Ambulance, Boone County Sheriff’s Department, Madrid Police, and Boone County Conservation for ensuring a safe and successful event. And of course, thank you to all the athletes who showed up and gave it their all.
