Love doing this race every year for many reasons, however found myself disappointed in several aspects this year. The starting line & corral was a mess – several of us runners could barely budge into the corral and start time was 10-15 minutes late. The course had been the same for several years (a wonderful one!) but was changed up this year. Not a fan of that for more than one reason – several less areas for spectators to cheer on; hardly any entertainment along the course (used to have A LOT); & had to do a switch back on a narrow path after Gray’s Lake. Spectators mentioned to me that they would’ve liked to get around to easily see us more than just once as well, which was difficult with the course set up. After crossing the finish line, we were in the corral for longer than normal trying to get to the medals, the drinks, and then the food which was much less than normal and no varying options. Post race entertainment seemed cheaper in many ways. Overall, just disappointed in the changes that were made.

This is my 3rd time running this Half Marathon and I’ve enjoyed it every single time. I especially like the course route the past couple years compared to my first year running it. It’s beautiful and mostly flat, allowing for full enjoyment. Volunteers and entertainment along the way are top notch and I’d recommend this race to anyone! (Especially first-timers).

If the course remains the same, I would definitely recommend it for first timers due to the ease of the course (and veterans for enjoyment and ease). The volunteers and spectators are great and can manage to put a smile on your face at any mile! The is particular course showcases some of the best aspects of downtown Des Moines. Make sure to catch the good food and free entertainment before/during/after the race.
