Ironman 70.3 Des Moines

Urban Charm - Des Moines is more than just cornfields. Some people say, it’s culture without the cost. Art without the attitude. Travel without the traffic. And walkability without the worry.   ​

Race day starts with a 1.2-mile urban swim in Gray's Lake with downtown Des Moines acting as your background.  Athletes will push their limits on this 56-mile ride featuring rolling hills and city views.  As you transition to the last leg of your race, you will feel the energy of this up-and-coming city.  The final leg of this race features an action-packed city tour, spectator lined trails and a downtown finish line you and your support crew will never forget.  ​

 Come experience the urban charm for yourself. ​
