The Big Run 5K : Des Moines
The Big Run 5K is an untimed community 5k held on Global Running Day at SingleSpeed Brewing Co., located at 303 Scott Ave, Des Moines, IA 50309. The event is presented by Brooks and organized with involvement from Fleet Feet. Registration is free.
Participants can visit run club tables from local groups including 515 Run Club, Cool Runnings, Gratitude Running, and Capital Striders. Brooks will offer a demo run during the event, with an opportunity to try shoes and a giveaway drawing for a pair. Raffles will feature Brooks apparel and other swag.
Goodie bags are available with registration while supplies last and may be picked up before or after the run at SingleSpeed. A casual post-run social will take place at SingleSpeed Brewing Co., where attendees can get food and drinks and visit each club’s table.
The event includes a shoe drive to collect gently used running shoes for local shelters and track programs; each donated pair earns an extra raffle ticket. Parking is available on the Scott Ave. bridge and the grassy lot across from SingleSpeed. Participants parking at the Fleet Feet ramp can obtain validation at SingleSpeed; that ramp is approximately a 0.8 mile walk from SingleSpeed.
