Absolutely! Please bring the whole family, your neighbors, your co-workers – everyone can participate! There will be two route options: one mile, and two miles, and walking either route is always an option. The more people that designate your school in their registration, the more money goes to your school! 

Yes! There are three ways to participate in OneRun:

1) You can register to run/walk the route. All speeds are acceptable at OneRun!

2) You can register to be a supporter. Supporters are invited to bring signs, bells, noisemakers, etc. and line the path to cheer for the runners. People who participate as supporters will help create an incredibly uplifting, inclusive event for all!

3) Donations are not required for any type of registration, but anyone who is able is invited to donate any amount! Every dollar donated will go directly to the schools. Click here to donate.

Corporate and individual donations will be given to the DMPS Foundation. After the event, the participants (runners, walkers, and supporters) will be tallied in total.

Here’s where the math comes in! The total amount raised will be divided by the total participants to determine an amount raised per participant. The Foundation will disburse funds to each school according to the number of participants who attended the event for each school.

OneRun 2024 raised over $45,000, and with just around 1700 people in attendance, this resulted in $26.69 per person sent to the school of each participant’s choice.

Each school may identify the best way to use their portion of the funds for an enhancement or
experience that aligns with the mission of the DMPS Foundation:

“The Des Moines Public Schools Foundation exists to enhance quality Education for all Des
Moines students, with special emphasis in the areas of Science and Fine Arts.”
