This is a nice race we have ran for several years. We usually have 5 or 6 teams and always have a good time.  The race starts and finishes  at Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines.   Easy parking and access to the start area - we like that.  Shirts and potential medals for participants.  The 5K race starts at 8 a.m.  

A nice Sunday afternoon fun run at Gray's Lake.  Park in the NW parking lot off Fleur Drive - next to the river.  From 1:00 til 2:30 or so, we will hang out there, and teams will loop the lake.  Might even have a few snacks.

This casual environment will be a great opportunity to invite potential new Captains to check out our team.

This is one of our favorite races.  Lots of runners, great crowd support and a nice Adel route.  The 5K race begins at 8.  After the race, those who want to stay for the parade (starts at 9:30)  can make the 3 block walk to where we reserve space for our team.  We need to sign up by th 19th to be guaranteed a shirt for each Captain.

We ran this 5K and received great feedback from the team.  The race starts at 8:15  It's a friendly route, and the Captains will receive a nice shirt.  Medals are a possibility in this chip-timed race.  Hy Vee even has a snack back for the teams.
