About

The Hometown Half Marathon and 5K/10K in Des Moines, Iowa, is an annual late-May event suited to all ages, with a virtual participation option for people who cannot attend. The half marathon (13.1 miles), 10K, 5K, 1-mile run and kids' dash all start at 7:00 a.m. Each runner gets a custom bib, a designer shirt and a finisher medal.

The half marathon has pace leaders, and every race uses chip timing with live results, awards and free photos, with treats after the finish. Children aged 10 and under have a race with a mini bib, a shirt and a medal, and the 5K and 10K offer youth pricing for ages 12 and under. Iowa spring mornings can be cool and breezy, so a throwaway layer helps at the start.
