Katie 's thoughts:

I love this race and this race course! This was my third time racing the Des Moines Half Marathon and love it every time I run it! Perfect time of year to run a half marathon, temp was about 40 degrees when we started and about 45 when I ended. The marathon and half marathon course split just before mile 2, and the course takes the half marathoners around Water Works park, loops you around Gray's Lake (beautiful view) before taking you to Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and running that to the finish line. Love this race!!!! There's about 6,000 runners for the half & full marathon so it's the perfect size of race. I love that we start and end downtown Des Moines, not far from the state capitol building. Such a beautiful downtown area, people and animal friendly, with lots of trails around for runners/walkers alike. I highly recommend this race to all!
