There's no better time and event to start spring training than with the annual Rockin Robin Run, AKA R3!
The R3 (Rockin Robin Run) is more than a run… it is several runs that are incorporated into an all-day music festival!
All the races start and end INSIDE and when crossing the finish line all runners will be greeted with live music (bands) and free bloody marys
The courses are relatively flat and are VERY scenic! They are 90% on paved bike paths that follow the Zumbro River (a small beautiful) river that runs through the heart of Rochester Minnesota,. The route will give you an up close tour of down town Rochester (including the world famous Mayo Clinic buildings) as well as take you into some beautiful wooded areas surrounding the city. We are very proud of the courses and have never had one complaint about them... the runners seem to love the courses.
The start and finishes are INSIDE (there will be a finisher shoot into a HUGE arena) where runners are greeted with all sorts of goodies including bloody marys, and ROCK bands. There will food vendors, booze vendors, running expo vendors, locker rooms and showers available and much more! We will be giving all finishers one of the COOLEST medals of all time.... its heavy, in the shape of a guitar and can double as a bottle opener.
