Event Details
Iowa’s greatest running tradition will return as the kickoff to summer in 2026. For the 47th year, runners will take on the point-to-point journey from the Saylorville Dam to Downtown Des Moines. With buses to the starting line, cold beer at the finish, and some of the most memorable rural and urban miles in the middle, this is one run you won’t want to miss.
