Des Moines Women's Race
Half Marathon • 10K • 5K
Saturday, May 1st | Sunday, May 2nd
Jasper Winery | 2400 George Flagg Pkwy | Des Moines, IA
If you’ve never been to the Women’s Race, you might think it’s just about the run. But then you’d be missing the braid bar, spin classes, yoga on the lawn, facials, live music, free wine, charcuterie boards, boot camps, and some of the best swag around (all included). That’s why more than 20,000 women have chosen to make this race their first, their furthest or their favorite (or perhaps all three).
*Images above show 2026 race swag items.
2027 swag items are to be announced, but the half marathon jackets are here to stay - stay tuned for designs!
A ‘we want more’ kind of attitude. Whether you are looking for the extra challenge or more weekend fun the DSMWHM Double events are where it’s at. Double the races, double the swag. There are two options to choose from:
Saturday Night 5K + Sunday Morning 10K - in person only
Saturday Night 5K + Sunday Morning Half Marathon - in person only
Achieving two events in one weekend is a pretty big deal and we won’t be the ones to stop you. You will crush the challenge you’ve set out for and we will be there cheering you on.
We are RipRoar
The Des Moines Women's Race is one of the signature endurance events produced annually by RipRoar Events. Based in downtown Des Moines, we built the women's race community because we knew that creating space for women to connect over the shared challenge of endurance running (and then celebrating that accomplishment) makes our city stronger.
The Des Moines Women's Race isn't the only event we bring to life each year. We're also the team behind the EMC Dam to DSM, the Des Moines Turkey Trot, The Night Run, and the RipRoar Youth Triathlon Series.
While we're known for building huge events, RipRoar is made up of a small local team. We're fellow athletes, planners, and coffee-fueled problem-solvers. You'll find us all over race weekend: placing signage, parking a wild amount of cars, and sharing our love for the event over the mic. This event means as much to us as it does to you, and we're honored to be the ones who get to put it on.
Got a question, an idea, or just want to say hi? [Reach out to our team]. We'd love to hear from you.
