Organiser's Description
WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL YEAR!
Brought to you by Wieland Racing, the organizer of The Blazing 5k and Mile [http://theblazing5k.com]. The Des Moines Spring 4-miler 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 great chance to at least have company in a good hard effort in March. All levels are welcome!
*GLOVES GUARANTEED FOR THE FIRST 72 PARTICIPANTS TO SIGN UP*
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course is set in Waterworks Park starting near the Bill Riley Trail Bridge. It takes your through both the big and the same loop going counterclockwise before hitting the main stretch all the way back to the start. 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.
