City of Des Moines Parks and Recreation Department
2024 Mayor's Annual Ride (MAR)
Looking for a way to give back to our trails?
Help support them by volunteering for the 2024 Des Moines Parks and Recreation Mayor's Annual Ride (MAR)! Each year MAR kicks off the biking season AND the proceeds directly benefit the city trails.
The trail system continues to be one of the most popular amenities in the park system. Recent counts indicate users take over 1 million trail trips each year. With 68 miles of paved and 19 miles of soft trails, there is something and some way for everyone to get out and be active - from mountain bikers to runners and walkers of all ages. Trails are not just for exercise; numerous riders utilize trails for their daily commute, year-round. The network in Des Moines serves as a nucleus for the state, with connectivity to over 550 miles in Central Iowa.
Volunteers will help meet and greet our customers and support staff at check-in, host rest-stops, and more. Click the descriptions below to learn more.
