If you are out and about on Sunday and like FREE Live Music, the Des Moines Marathon will be going on throughout parts of Des Moines.
Be aware that 8000+ athletes will be running down the Bill Riley Trail, Water Works Park, Gray's Lake and the Meredith Trail on Sunday from 8 am to 4 pm.
While you cannot ride on the race course, you can make your way to most of these bands through side streets, trails and sidewalks etc.
The Des Moines Marathon has a GREAT entertainment line-up that does not occur with most marathons.
