The Music Run Des Moines, Des Moines

It certainly doesn't feel like exercise. A high-energy soundtrack motivates every step for participants in The Music Run, and this isn't some random collection of songs. Before the event, participants log onto the event's website and vote on their favorite songs, with the top tracks making it to the race. Speakers line the course, and the soundtrack plays right to the finish line—and through it. The music continues at an afterparty.
