About this race
The Des Moines Donut Mile is a short, humorous food-and-running race held in Clive, Iowa, at 8810 Swanson Blvd. Participants complete quarter-mile laps, consuming a glazed donut hole before each one. The challenge lies in maintaining pace after the sugar intake as much as in running speed. The race begins at 9:00 AM CDT and concludes by 9:30 AM, with an entry fee of $10.
The format involves eating, running a quarter mile, and repeating. It is suitable for families and open to all, though individuals under 15 require accompaniment by a parent, guardian, or coach. Spectators contribute to the event by eating donuts and using water guns to spray runners during their laps.
