DES MOINES, Iowa – The 2024 Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom will feature an excellent opportunity for families to get to Drake Stadium and experience the 114th installment of America's Athletic Classic.
 
On Friday, Apr. 26, any student grade K-12 will receive free admission into the Friday day session (8:30 a.m.-3:45 p.m.), powered by MidAmerican Energy. This ticket deal coincides with various metro area schools holding professional development days for their staff, with an off day for students.
 
"For decades in the 20th century, Friday at the Drake Relays was woven within the fabric of spring for Des Moines area elementary school kids," Blake Boldon, the Franklin P. Johnson Director of the Drake Relays said. "We are excited to bring this tradition back and hope we can restart generational family traditions."
 
Save the voucher linked above for the day of the event and present it to the Drake Stadium ticket office on Forest Ave in exchange for your free ticket. Students K-8 must be accompanied by an adult, and that adult must purchase a ticket to enter. High school students will need to provide school identification to gain admittance.
