Kalona is more than just the “quilt capital of Iowa”. It has a deep and long legacy of fantastic roads to travel. Maybe the good folks who put together Jingle GX knew what they were doing when they picked Washington county for much of the course? Maybe it’s the amazing Amish and Mennonite population that keeps these roads beautiful and rustic without the complexity of asphalt? Or, maybe it’s the proximity to Iowa City that raises the general desire for a simple and more community focused environment?
Whatever it is, you need to see it for yourself! Come for the race, stay for the amazing bakeries
