The locker rooms are spacious with plenty of lockers. They have clean/large showers with plenty of hot water and bodywash. There's even a swim suit spinner to help dry your suit! They have weight machines and free weights. There are plenty of high quality treadmills and stair climbers. The treadmills are in great shape and have a TV built in (just bring headphones). I'm not brave enough for the stair climbers yet, but they looked nice. There are spinning classes, yoga, kids' programs all day. If you go before school lets out, you pretty much have run of the place. It is a great place with a positive, though not creepily so, vibe. Check it out!

The bathrooms can get gross when they are busy- but given that there's nothing within walking distance or even quick driving distance, they are still better than a portapotty!

The fields are well maintained, signage is clear, there's lots of parking, and the area is pretty.

Yeah the knife can be used from time to time but if you've got a bunch of screws, you're better off with the right tool. Originally my capability was like the knife as screwdriver- specifically I had poor balance, reduced range of motion to be able to get into a good position, and lots of aches and pains after a round. Today I'm able to turn my body and make a reasonably good shot. There's little to zero pain and discomfort after a full day. The team has made the physical aspects of golf easier and I'm playing--and enjoying-- the game more. As an older golfer approaching 70 I'm a strong proponent of their program. It's been a real transformation!

I did not care for this marathon course at all, way too many turns, at one point they had you run…read morelike 50 feet turn around and run back, just ridiculous. Just a heads up, if you don't cut every apex of each turn and run the outside of turns you'll end up running way over 26.2. Also this year, they ran out of medals, they said they would be mailed, but still haven't received mine. The course starts you off with huge hill and for most of the first half there's a lot of up and down elevation, this may play murder in your joints.

It'll be fun, they said. Really? 2 marathons in 2 days? Are YOU freaking kidding me?…read more That's what I said. And speaking from experience, I couldn't believe it when I found myself crossing the finish line on the 2nd day and lived to tell about it. While my performance was anything but stellar, it was a marathon finish that I would never thought possible, if it wasn't for the prodding and coercing nature of a few marathoner friends whom do this sort of thing all the time. And so, if I was to do this 50 states marathon thing more economically, running 2 marathons in 2 different states in 2 consecutive days is a must. I proudly can say that I finished the 2011 version of the IMT Des Moines Marathon in Des Moines, Iowa on 10/16/2011. It was my 1st "double" out of 6 of them completed over the course of my 50 states marathon journey. This was my 34th lifetime marathon and 32nd marathon state in a bid to knock off 50 marathons in 50 states from Hawaii. It was great to be in Iowa actually and Des Moines is the biggest city here and they have a nice race for me to enjoy and indulge in. The IMT Des Moines marathon is definitely a well oiled machine and caters to everyone - runners and walkers alike. They do not cap registration, so that's great. Everyone and anyone can participate, providing that they register officially up until the expo closes the day before the event. The marathon and half marathon is typically held in mid October, typically when autumn is in full effect and the weather is downright epic for a personal best and just great running weather. Cool conditions are expected and everyone has a fun time for all. It was about upper 40's at the start that fateful morning and warmed up to about mid 60's. It was almost ideally perfect for me. The IMT Des Moines Marathon starts and finishes in downtown Des Moines, but not before venturing outside the downtown area. The residential areas and the rural nature of the marathon makes you look at life outside the city of Des Moines and looks pretty nice. Makes you want to move here or something. I particularly liked running around Gray's Lake Park and the lake itself. The marathon course is deceptively hilly, especially at mile 6-7, where you start climbing up gradually a rural residential area and it didn't seem flat at all. While the hills were nothing major, I just felt like I was told flat, but was presented something else. Still, the course was pretty and scenic. The overall course was good and authentic, but could have used more urban flavor. I didn't visit the expo, as I had a friend pick up my race packet, as I had been running a marathon the day before in Indianapolis, IN and was traveling to Des Moines and could not get to the expo in time. My friend and I stayed at one of the downtown area hotels, so walking to the race start was just a short 5 minutes. The funny moment after getting back to the hotel after finishing my 1st double is that my legs were super wobbly, that I fell down the stairs in the hotel lobby. I guess first time for everything! Haha. Nothing broken, just my pride I guess. I didn't care. I finished 2 freaking marathons in 1 single weekend. That's got to be pretty epic. There was live music on the course on certain spots and the aid stations were 2 miles apart, so that was great. Crossing the finish line was particularly gratifying, specially when I was a little tired from the day before and I just wanted it all to be done. Everything was well organized, so I can't complain. There were sparse spectators in the 2nd half, but there was plenty to see us off and in the first 10K, before dwindling. The finisher's medal was great. Nice design and just a spectacular marathon for the city and community of Des Moines to rally around and support. Thanks to IMT Insurance company for being the lead sponsor for the IMT Des Moines marathon for many years. And so, if you would like to run a mid sized marathon in the Midwest USA in the middle of October, do give this one a chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised at what Des Moines can offer you. I didn't have a rental car on this one, but do feel free to explore the area before and after the race. This can be a destination race for y'all who want to run a fall race but don't want to travel so far. I would definitely recommend the IMT Des Moines marathon to anyone and everyone who wants an enjoyable marathon or half marathon. Whether you want to BQ or PR, or just finish your first race ever, this one has it all. Check it out! Run more! Support local! A
