11th Annual Race to Feed Kids 5K

Join us at the Women of Achievement Bridge in Downtown Des Moines, IA on Mother’s Day Weekend!

The Des Moines’ Mary’s Meals: Race to Feed Kids isn’t your average 5K run / walk.

It’s a passion to end hunger for our world’s youth - every single race registration will feed 1 child at Mcheza Primary School in Malawi, Africa for an ENTIRE school year! For many of our youth, this may be their only meal of the day - and YOU are helping to feed them.

KEEPING FOR 2024: 5K Walk (Non-Timed / Donation Only)

After having many participants over the years request an untimed option, we tried a “Donation Only” registration option for 2023, and it was a HUGE HIT! We’re keeping it again for 2024. There will be no race registration fee nor bib assignment, and participants can make their donation toward Mcheza Primary School via the “Donate” button on the race registration page or by clicking HERE.

Additional Youth Categories!

Also back by popular demand - Youth Categories!! We will continue to create the categories based on age of participants and number of registrations. For the 2023 race we had 4 different 16 and under categories, and we’re looking to increase that for 2024!
