About this race
🏁 Welcome to the Inaugural Year!
Brought to you by Wieland Racing, the organizer of The Blazing 5k and Mile. The Des Moines Spring 4-mile is designed to help break off the rust and give you a benchmark heading into the spring season. You never know what conditions you'll get in Iowa, but this is a great chance to at least have company in a good hard effort in March. All levels are welcome!
🏞️ Course Description
- Location: The course is set in Waterworks Park starting near the Bill Riley Trail Bridge.
- Route: It takes you through both the big and the same loop going counterclockwise before hitting the main stretch all the way back to the start.
- Details: Flat and fast, certified (pending certificate) 4 mile race.
💰 Prize Money
Much like the Blazing 5k, we aim to support local elites. This race offers a unique prize structure where the top 6 M/F finishers will each earn $100. The modest $1200 purse is set to the standard purse size we believe races should all put up if they aim to support real racing.
