Local partners and neighboring businesses are offering plenty of space and close parking to make an easy access event for all. Plus, runners get a free beverage courtesy of Little Thistle, after the event!

This event supports the MN Ovarian Cancer Alliance and we are honored to run and walk with our survivors.

This event will remain open and inclusive of all families and ages. We cant wait to meet you at the finish line!
