Virtual Run Minne-Series

Here’s a great way to stay fit and active while “sheltering in place”. The Stay at Home policy allows people to engage in outdoor activities like running and walking while remaining at least six feet from others.

With this in mind, we created the Virtual Run Minne-Series as part of our mission to produce "beautiful events that benefit the community".

This series provides five distances to select from and a way to track your times on an official results page. Registration is FREE. Plus if you make a donation of $10 or more to the Open Door Food Shelf, you earn the official finisher medal.

We invite you to make positive strides during these tough times and use this challenge to focus on your health and well-being.

Virtual Run Minne-Series details:

• Free virtual running program with 5 distances, complete as many as you want

• See our suggested courses or do one of your own
