Race for Hope DSM

The Race for Hope DSM is an annual running event held in Des Moines, Iowa, aimed at raising awareness and funds for brain tumor research. Inspired by a local teen diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, the event began in 2013 and has since raised over $700,000 for the cause. Participants can choose from various events, including a Kid's Fun Run, 2K, 5K, and 10.1K races, as well as a virtual participation option.

The race takes place during Brain Tumor Awareness Month in May, fostering community spirit and honoring those affected by brain tumors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
