Race Description
The Race for Hope DSM is set to return on May 10, 2025, following a successful event in 2024. This annual race, inspired by the late Des Moines resident Nicolas Lovan, aims to raise awareness and funds for brain tumor research. Since its inception in 2013, the race has brought the community together and has raised over $400,000 for the cause, providing crucial support for research initiatives.
Participants in the Race for Hope DSM can expect a community-focused event during Brain Tumor Awareness month, which honors those affected by brain tumors and celebrates survivors. With registration currently open, the event invites runners and walkers of all ages to join in this meaningful cause, furthering the legacy of Nicolas Lovan and advocating for continued research and funding.
