City of Clive issued the following announcement.
The “Battle of the Burbs” 10K, 5K, and kids fun run/walk presented by NCMIC is Saturday, August 7th. This annual event takes runners and walkers through beautiful Clive neighborhoods and around Clive Lake.
The run is also a good-natured “battle” between the suburbs of Clive, Waukee, West Des Moines, Urbandale, and Johnston. The City that registers the most participants and raises the most funds wins the championship belt and significant bragging rights! 100% of registration fees and sponsorships are going to each city’s respective community foundation that will support various improvement projects designated by each city.
This year, Clive—in partnership with the Clive Community Foundation—is designating funds for improvements to the Clive Greenbelt, specifically Greenbelt Landing (the area just north of the Aquatic Center including the festival grounds and special events building).
So, whether you run, jog, or walk, please join us on August 7th. Clive is the defending Battle of the Burbs champion and with your help, we can repeat in 2021! Register to run at www.ncmic.com/battle and be sure to select Clive as the community you’re running for.
