AMES, IOWA (June 1, 2020) — With the cancelations of running events across the state, OneIA Challenge strives to unite runners and walkers alike. Over $500 has already been raised for local running stores and charities throughout the state. Adaptive Sports Iowa has partnered with OneIA Challenge to raise funds during these especially hard times.
