Drake Road Races 2027

The Drake Road Races are a running event in Des Moines, Iowa, held annually just before the Drake Relays. On the same morning, participants can choose from 5K, 10K, and half marathon races. Runners finish on the Blue Oval inside Drake Stadium, the track also used for the Drake Relays. Virtual options for all three distances are available, allowing participation without running the Des Moines course.
