About

The Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5k/10k - Des Moines offers a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km), a 10K (6.2 miles), a 5K (3.1 miles), a 1-mile race and a Kid's Dash for children 10 and under in Des Moines, Iowa. The 2027 race is set for September 26, with every event starting at 8 a.m. The organizers provide chip timing, live results, half marathon pacers, post-race refreshments, a T-shirt and a medal.

Coming in late September, the race is a natural finale to a summer training cycle. To get the most out of it, weekly mileage should be cut by about 30 to 40% in the final week, keeping one short pace session to stay sharp. On race day, running the first 2 miles (3 km) slightly slower than goal pace leaves room to pick it up later. Youth pricing and the kids' race make it easy to bring the whole family.
