The Night Run Des Moines

The Night Run Des Moines is the social race of the summer that won't feel like a typical Des Moines race route. It's meant to feel like the kind of run you take after a long day. The one where the music kicks in, the signs start to flick on, and the city feels like it's all yours. Whether it’s a 5K, 10K, Night Mile, or Night Mile + 5K/10K, everyone can join the fun! With so many ways to race, you’re sure to find the distance (or race combination) that’s right for you. The 10K begins at 7:00 PM, followed by the 5K at 7:15 PM. You can pair either race with the Night Mile, or run the Night Mile as a stand-alone event.
