Your Des Moines Girl 5K day, from start to finish

Your Des Moines Girl 5K day, from start to finish ✨ The weather forecast looks dreamy, and there's still time to join us.

We’re kicking things off with morning movement (hi, spin class + shopping 👋), easing into braid bar + sparkle moments, and fueling up with all the feel-good energy from our favorite women-owned businesses. 💛

Midday = movement, connection, and maybe a little sweat (Burn Bootcamp, Pilates, yoga… you get the vibe). By afternoon, we’re fully in our main character era—glow-up complete thanks to gua sha, good convos, and new friendships.

Then… we run. 🏃‍♀️ Or walk. Or vibe. Because this 5K is for everyone.

And of course, we’re closing it out the only way we know how—wine in hand, medals on, and celebrating the best community in DSM. 🍷

It’s a full day of connection, movement, and supporting local—all leading up to that 5PM start line magic.

See you there. 💫

Grab your friends. The spring energy is here, which means so is the best weekend of the year. 🌷The Des Moines Girl 5K is calling… and it’s more than a run, it’s a whole day. Think music, energy, community, and a finish line that feels like a celebration.

It’s the tenth year of the Des Moines Women’s Race weekend and we’re so pumped to bring the party on the night before the almost sold out half marathon!
