More Than A Race

Run For A Cause
Run or walk for a cause.  Run For Autism, join Team in Training and run with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or be an American Cancer Society Charity Runner.  Show your support by running or walking on race day with the Iowa Chapter of the APDA (American Parkinson's Disease Association).  Be sure to save your training shoes this year so that you can donate them to Soles4Souls at the Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield Sports & Fitness Expo.

Prevention Magazine has named Des Moines the "best big city in Iowa for walking" and 72nd in the nation in a survey of more than 500 cities.  Team Prevention is proud to present the IMT Des Moines Marathon as one of its most walker-friendly events and will feature the Prevention Early Start time for marathon walkers at 7 a.m. on race day.
