To Grandmother's House We Go
To Grandmother's House We Go is a fall trail race held on October 30, 2027, at Brown's Woods in West Des Moines, Iowa. The course uses single and double track dirt trails and follows a loop that goes deep into the woods. The outermost loop measures 5K; longer distances are multiple laps of that same loop.
Distances:
- 5K outermost trail loop
- 10K two loops of the 5K course
- 15K three loops of the 5K course
Walkers may participate and are encouraged to register for one of the shorter distances. The course will remain open for three hours. Dogs are not permitted on the course during the event due to insurance restrictions.
Registration opens in May and closes in October. Registration fee is $40. Packet pickup is available at Fitness Sports Ingersoll. The event guarantees a pint glass or headband for the first 120 registrants. Proceeds support Des Moines dirt trail systems, the Stewards of Browns Woods, and the Capital Striders.
The setting and looped format make the event a trail-based outing with clearly defined lap requirements for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
