Mayor's Annual Ride and Run 2019
On April 20th, join the Des Moines Park and Recreation Department for the 2019 Mayor’s Annual Ride and Run for Trails (MARR). New this year, the event will kick-off at Principal Park (1 Line Drive) with a breakfast from 8:30 a.m. - 10 a.m. The 5K and 1-mile family fun walk starts at 9 a.m., featuring a route inside the stadium and shown live on the videoboard. Mayor Frank Cownie will lead the 22-mile ride, which leaves the park at 10 a.m. Proceeds for both events will go towards the construction of the Des Moines River Trail - Phase 2.
This year’s MARR festivities will include a pre-ride breakfast from 8:30am - 10:00am at Principal Park (starting line) and a drawing for a bike, valued at $600 and donated by Bike World. This year’s ride will consist of one 22-mile route.
