YMCA Red Flannel Run 2015
February 14, 2015
The Red Flannel Run is the unofficial start of the running season in Des Moines and consists of a 3- and 5-mile run. Proceeds go toward the Wellmark YMCA Annual Campaign, helping to make the YMCA accessible to all. Red Flannel Run at our Riverfront YMCA brought together over 2,000 runners for a 3-mile and 5-mile race in sub-zero temperatures. More runners means more body heat at the starting line. Invite your friends!
About the Red Flannel Run
The YMCA Red Flannel Run was first held in honor of Luke Altmix Simmons in 2013. Luke was an adventure-seeking athlete. In 2007, while on a trail run in Colorado, Luke was struck by a bolt of lightning that ended his life. Luke’s family and friends hold events in his honor with his memory as motivation.
