About

EMC DAM to DSM Half Marathon takes place on June 5, 2027, in Polk City, Iowa. One distance is on the program: the half marathon, 13.1 miles (21.1 km), starting at 7:00 a.m. from the top of the Saylorville dam and running point-to-point towards Des Moines. No elevation gain is listed.

Starting at the top of a dam means the first mile is downhill, which is the single most common way to ruin a half marathon: the pace feels free, and the cost arrives at mile ten. Hold something back for the first two miles, even if it means letting a group go, and you will be the one moving past people on the run into the city.
