Become A SponsorEvent Overview
Since its inception in 2002, the Des Moines Marathon (DMM) has been dedicated to its mission of promoting health and fitness in greater Des Moines, across Iowa and throughout the Midwest. Also in furtherance of its mission, the DMM supports charitable organizations like Shoes That Fit, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, American Cancer Society, PD Walkers, and Iowa Kidstrong. The DMM promotes a positive image of Des Moines as a great place to live and play. The IMT Des Moines Marathon is an endurance race that is unique in scope and size to Iowa. It is a highly visible family friendly event that attracts athletes and spectators not only locally, but from across the state of Iowa and beyond, including those who otherwise may not make a visit to Des Moines. There are many additional activities that take place in conjunction with the DMM, such as the Sports & Fitness Expo, Speaker Series and Pasta Dinner. The DMM has gained a national reputation for being a well organized event. Volunteers receive praise for their hospitable charm and welcoming attitudes towards event participants. The Des Moines Marathon is noted as a scenic course featuring quaint neighborhoods and lush city parks, while the Half Marathon is a flat, fast paced course. The addition of the Marathon Relay, 5K Road Race and Kids Run in 2006 have been well received by athletes and their families. These events give participants an opportunity to run or walk in a family-friendly atmosphere and are intended for athletes of all skill levels and ages.
