Waterloo Citizens for a Pool

06/17/2026

So wayback 3 months ago, we hosted our Ninth Annual St. Paddy's Day 5K! We owe a big thank you to all of our Sponsors, Volunteers, and Participants for making it a great day! We had some of the best race day weather we've ever had over the past nine years, as well as a great turnout. It's been so rewarding to see what a fun family event this has become in Downtown Waterloo!

If you or someone you know would be interested in joining our board to help continue these annual events and our efforts to bring a community pool back to Waterloo, please send us a message.

Today’s beautiful golf weather is the perfect time to highlight our Ninth Annual St. Paddy's Day 5K Walk/Run Rainbow Sponsors, Acorns Golf Links and the Mandy Ebeler Foundation. The Acorns family have long been supporters of our mission to bring a community pool back to Waterloo. Now they have set up a foundation that honors Mandy through lifting up these underfunded sports and the local youth that compete in them. It’s a beautiful memorial, we are so honored to be aligned with the Mandy Ebeler Foundation. Take a moment and like and follow their page.
