Day 4 – MARSHALLTOWN

The fourth day of RAGBRAI LIII takes us from Boone to Marshalltown, 67.9 miles and 1,819 feet of climb, while riding on a portion of the Historic Iowa Byways Lincoln Highway.

“We believe RAGBRAI is about more than the ride; it’s about the people. That’s why this year, our message is simple. All Wheels Welcome. Marshalltown is an inclusive, diverse community, and we pride ourselves on our friendliness, collaborations, and global innovations. From seasoned cyclists to first-time riders, support crews to spectators, this is a place where everyone has a spot, a story, and a reason to celebrate.”
