The IMT Des Moines Marathon is expanding to two days of races, and the best part is that you can participate in both days.

Take part in The Principal Financial Group 5K Road Race on Saturday and combine it with your race of choice in the IMT Des Moines Marathon, Half Marathon, or Bankers Trust Marathon Relay on Sunday.

For participating in the 5K Combo you will receive a finisher medal in The Principal Financial Group 5K Road Race on Saturday and in your race of choice on Sunday. Both medals magnetically combine with one another to highlight your 5K Combo accomplishment in Des Moines.

Signing up for the 5K Combo is simple. Look for the 5K Combo during online registration to sign up for The Principal Financial Group 5K Road Race and then your race of choice on Sunday. Or, sign up for your race of choice and come back later to add a second race and combine The Principal Financial Group 5K Road Race with your IMT Des Moines Marathon, Half Marathon, Bankers Trust Marathon Relay registration.

There is no difference in fees between the 5K Combo and registering for races separately. Double your race and double your hardware.
