As we approach the 38th Paul Skeffington Memorial Race on Saturday, June 21st, 2025, our committee of longtime volunteers have made the decision that this will be the final race in this incredible journey. Although we know that the “Skeff Race Has Run Its Course,” we also know the lasting impact this race has had on our community.
Our race is located downtown DeWitt, Iowa. Check out our 2 mile, and a 5 mile courses! Our 5 mile course features the Paul Skeffington Memorial Trail located at Westbrook Park. After our race there will be a live band at Murphy’s Pub, and pork chop meals by our local Nite Lions! Participants get a free meal and drink.
