The Best Buddies Friendship Walk/5K Run AND Day at the Iowa Cubs is an exciting day that will celebrate Best Buddies Iowa’s mission of friendship and inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities! Sign up for our 5K Run along the Des Moines River Walk Trails, which begins at 10am.
