About the Blue Believers
This race in Des Moines raises money for prostate cancer awareness, with all proceeds going toward Iowans affected by the disease. It has been running for a few years now and has built a meaningful track record of giving back to the local community. The cause is front and center, so the crowd tends to be people who came to support someone specific.
