10 years of the Des Moines Women’s Race. ❤️‍🔥

To every woman who showed up, every spectator screaming themselves hoarse at mile 12, every volunteer filling cups or handing out medals, every vendor, sponsor, pacer, medic, DJ, staff member, and stranger cheering from the sidewalk, this weekend only exists because of you.

What started a decade ago as a race has become something so much bigger:
a celebration of strength, community, resilience, movement, and women showing up for one another.

The city felt electric all weekend long, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who helped bring it to life.

Thank you for making the 10th annual one we’ll never forget.

See you next year, Des Moines. 🫶
