"It was awesome! My first half marathon and it couldn't have been a better course to start with! The support groups and volunteers were amazing. It was a well run day start to finish!"

"The hospitality, scenic course and race amenities make this a world-class race for sure!"

"Fantastic event. The course displayed a lot of Des Moines and was lined with spectators throughout."

"I can think of only a handful of times when I've posted five stars across the board. In this case, I would have considered six stars."
