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!

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!
