Join the crusade - the Celebrate Life Relay will spread awareness about organ and tissue donation as 54 runners cover a 315-mile course over 48 continuous hours, crossing the state of Iowa. The relay takes place April 16-18, starting near the Missouri River and ending near the Mississippi River. Runners will travel through 39 towns, including Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Iowa City and Davenport.

April is National Donor Awareness Month. Show your support by running a relay leg - 3-mile, 6-mile, 10-mile or 15-mile segments are available for runners to choose from. Or choose a mile or more to sponsor along the route.
