Get ready for one of the most entertaining races of the night - the Mascot Madness Challenge!

Watch as some of your favorite local mascots race for glory in two thrilling divisions: the furriest and the fastest. These larger-than-life characters will dash 100 meters down the course, finishing on Des Moines’ iconic World Record Way — just like all our other participants. With big smiles (and even bigger costumes), they’ll compete for bragging rights and be crowned at the finish line with a larger-than-life medal that’s as bold as their personalities.

It’s fast, it’s furry, and it’s full of fun you won’t want to miss!
