Entertainment
The IMT Des Moines Marathon is also looking for individuals and/or groups to volunteer their time and enthusiasm on race day by providing entertainment along the course for athletes. Musicians and entertainers of all talent levels, sizes and artistic backgrounds are invited to join in the fun and celebration.
Let us know your area of interest or talent and we'll help you bring it all together. There are a variety of locations on the race course where we can give you some exposure to the athletes and community while you provide a great source of support for the athletes along the course on race day.
Send your ideas or inquiries to the IMT Des Moines Marathon Entertainment Director or call 515.288.2692 for more information. You can also check out the IMT Des Moines Marathon entertainment page on myspace.com.
Thank you to Up Tempo Music in Des Moines for supporting live music on the course!
