Trail Ride

Distance - 20 miles

Join us on Saturday, May 2, as we roll through the heart of Des Moines for the much-anticipated 2026 Mayor's Annual Ride, hosted by Des Moines Parks and Recreation!

Pedal alongside our Mayor Connie Boesen! 

It's not just a ride; it's a chance to kick off the season while supporting our trail system. 

Your participation helps fund the trails that both residents and guests of DSM enjoy year-round. 

WHAT DO THE PROCEEDS GO TOWARD?

The funds raised by this event will go to funding bike racks and other projects along our trails!

REST STOPS

• Easter Lake Park - a little past the half-way point
