This is great early spring 10k race to test your fitness level! Love the concept where the women get a head start! That means you don’t have the issue of men that have issue being passed by women that continue to sprint ahead when you try to pass them 🙂
This year the weather was not ideal which lead to my placing in my age group- prizes are discounted/free entry into next years race and a pint glass (which I lost 🙁 ) which I always appreciate as a prize! The post race part is tons of fun with plenty of beer to go around!
Fun race with a fun twist!

I’ve done this race several times now since it’s inception in Iowa and love it every time! It’s not your normal race – it’s a chase! The women get a head start on the men and whichever gender finishes first gets free beer at the after party!
The course – A fairly typical route for Des Moines, looping from Principal Park, down MLK, through Grays and back on the Meredith Trail to Principal Park. The course is fairly flat and fast – I set my 10k PR at this race!
The after party- Held at El Bait Shop so there is lots of beer available! Typically well attended and a lot of fun!
I would definitely recommend this race to anyone!
