Once again, Drake University is proud to be highlighted as part of the IMT Des Moines Marathon, on Sunday, Oct. 15. The famed ‘Blue Oval’ and the Drake campus will be part of the race around the mile 11 marker.  Runners will approach Drake from 25th to Carpenter, left into the campus and south through campus to 27th to run the oval. Both DPS as well as DMPD staff will be here to insure a safe race course.

The IMT Marathon will place runners in and around Drake from 8:30 – 11:30 am.  Please expect traffic disruptions both near campus and throughout the race course.
