About
The race
Is there another race that represents Iowa running more than Dam to Dam? Frankly the answer is easy—NO! Dam to Dam is for runners; not a charity, a sponsor or a non-running organization. It is “run” by volunteers and non-profit.With marathons being out of reach, Dam to Dam seems to revive an early summer goal to go far enough to tire but not so far to fall apart. There has been little doubt that each year this race displays Iowa talent as well as any race. Additionally each runner is treated like the next.Des Moines’ Dam to Dam races offer some of the flattest terrain and most scenic views that Iowa’s capitol city has to offer, with a race that starts at one dam outside the city and crosses over another in the heart of downtown.
