Root Beer Run...

• 1 MIle Fun Run:- Run 1 Mile

Join us at Boom Island Park for the ROOT BEER RUN 2017!

Start time is 11am, Sunday, Sept 3rd. Arrive around 10:15am to check-in.

The Root Beer Run has a simple purpose: Be Active. Have Fun. Give Back. We hope kids of all ages join us for either the 0.5k dash or 1 mile fun run, both which finish with FREE ROOT BEER in a COMMEMERATIVE EVENT MUG, a kid’s zone of activities, local community partners, and fun...all while raising money for local nonprofit People for Parks!

The 0.5k Dash that is friendly for all ages! And, a 1 Mile fun run for those with a bit more energy. 0.5k and 1 mile will both start close to 11am and will be untimed.

You can pre-purchase your EVENT TSHIRT with your registration (an additional $15 pre-purchased), or you will have the option to purchase on-site the day of the event (an additional $20 day-of). 

Event Details

Registrants gather at Boom Island Park along the Mississippi River in NE Minneapolis to start and will be navigated along a 0.5k Dash route in the Park and/or the 1M fun run route in the park. Upon crossing the finish line ALL PARTICIPANTS will receive FREE ROOT BEER in a collector’s mug/glass. There will be plenty of other fun in store too! 

Let's consider this an "Un-Race" - we are here to support: Be Active. Have Fun. Give Back. The 0.5k and 1 mile event will be un-timed.

What you will get is:

1.     FREE ROOT BEER in a collector’s mug or glass when you finish

2.     A fun time from local community partners and our kid’s activity area

3.     A warm-fuzzy feeling that you are supporting local non-profit, People for Parks

4.     and, a chance to win the prize

Plenty of Tshirts of all sizes (kids & adults) will be on-hand for those that pre-registered for them ($15), or those that want to purchase on-site ($20).
