Capital Pursuit 10 Mile and 4 Mile
Capital Pursuit is Capital Strider's premier 10-mile race that takes participants through the best parts of the City of Des Moines. This year there is a new course that will take runners around beautiful Easter Lake and along the Carl Voss Trail. There is also a 4 mile run/walk for those participants who prefer that distance. In its 41st running, make sure not to miss one of Des Moines’ longest-running traditions!
The Capital Striders are a member of the Road Runners Club of America, which promotes the development of community-based running clubs and events in the pursuit of health and competition for all ages. RRCA provides support and race insurance for many of its 2,500 member organizations.
