SUPPORTING STRONG GIRLS IN CENTRAL IOWA
With the help of generous women like you, The Des Moines Women's Half Marathon has raised more than $20,000 for strong, women-focused causes in Central Iowa. Starting in 2017 the efforts of the DSMWHM have raised money, awareness and support for our friends at Girls on The Run of Central Iowa. As in years past, we will highlight donors with recognition on their bibs, and a small gift of thanks.
G.O.T.R. hosts two annual "celebration 5K events" for middle school-aged girls that have completed a 10-week immersive after-school training program. For many of these girls, this is their introduction to running + racing. DSMWHM is not only a proud financial partner of their mission, but we also use our talents and physical resources to help their team build out a truly epic event.
We're proud to stand alongside such meaningful organizations and with the help of our athletes we know that together we can make a lasting impact on the strength of our community for a generation to come.
Continuing our support for organizations with a shared mission.
In addition to the Girls on the Run, we will also continue our support for outside organizations that share in our mission of improving Central Iowa through sport and recreation.
