About the Drake Road Races Half Marathon

The Drake Road Races Half Marathon offers runners a memorable journey through Des Moines, Iowa. Starting and finishing at Drake University, this USATF-certified course takes participants through scenic neighborhoods, past historic landmarks, and along tree-lined streets. Runners can expect enthusiastic crowd support, well-stocked aid stations, and the chance to experience the vibrant Drake University campus. With its relatively flat terrain and typically mild spring weather, this half marathon provides an excellent opportunity for both seasoned runners aiming for a PR and first-timers looking to conquer the distance. The event is part of the larger Drake Relays festivities, adding to the energetic atmosphere surrounding race day.
