Get ready to celebrate the joy of running at The Big Run 5K, taking place on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, in vibrant Des Moines, IA! This event is part of a nationwide celebration of Global Running Day, inviting runners and walkers of all abilities to embrace camaraderie and fun. The untimed 5K route offers a breezy 3.1 miles, focusing on the experience rather than the clock, making it perfect for beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike. Runners will gather and finish at SingleSpeed Brewing Co. at 303 Scott Ave, with participants encouraged to don their best "retro runner" attire for an added element of festive nostalgia.

The Big Run 5K is renowned for its lively, community-focused atmosphere, promising high-fives, adrenaline, and good friends along the course. Typical race day conditions in early June in Des Moines feature comfortable highs around 80°F and lows around 60°F, with a roughly 20% chance of precipitation, creating pleasant running weather. Registrants can look forward to a swag bag and a complimentary post-run drink to celebrate their accomplishment, making it an excellent value and a memorable social event. This family-friendly gathering is truly an "epic party" that unites generations of runners in a no-pressure environment.
