The I-35 Challenge is a partnership between the Waddell
& Reed Kansas City Marathon with Ivy Funds and the IMT Des Moines Marathon.
The two events take place on the same weekend in October - Kansas City on
Saturday (10/18) and Des Moines on Sunday (10/19). The goal of the challenge is
to complete both races.
Participants can elect to either do BOTH marathons or BOTH
half marathons in the same weekend and receive an I-35 Challenge shirt and
finisher medal worthy of their accomplishment. Two cities. Two Races. 190
miles. One great weekend.
