Des Moines, IA
Entry is $50 now and rises to $55 after Feb 22, 2027, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs flat through Des Moines, and the event is split across two days: an evening 5K followed by the half marathon and 10K the next morning. The setup gives it a weekend-getaway feel rather than a single early-morning alarm. Wine at the finish is part of the plan, and the organizers are clearly not shy about the party side of things.
