Bodies Race Company - Polk City

Registration

Candy Cane Course - Des Moines, hosted by Bodies Race Company, takes place at Big Creek State Park in Polk City, IA. On December 21, 2025, the holiday-themed event offers 1 mile (untimed), 5k, 12k, a Kids Dash, and a Virtual Race, with a volunteer option. The atmosphere is family-friendly and festive, with great swag: a designer shirt, a one-of-a-kind finisher medal, a custom bib, and free photos, plus chip-timed results and live updates.

The 5k and 12k courses are mapped (interactive maps available) and subject to change. Toys for Tots donations add a charitable twist, and virtual runners receive mailed packets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
