October 11, 2014, Saturday - Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk at Boom Island

Time: 9:00am

Location:  Starting and ending at Boom Island Park (700 Sibley Street NE)

11th Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk will take you through historic Northeast Minneapolis, along the Mississippi River and over the Stone Arch Bridge. This is perfect time of year to see the fall colors and the beauty of the tree canopy, river, and cityscape.  Race starts/ends at Boom Island Park (700 Sibley Street NE)

Last year we gave out over $2,000 of prizes that were awarded to top finishers and drawings for all that register. 

This year, we have partnered with Mill City Museum to provide you highlights of the incredible history along the route as well as Buy One, Get One discount to the Mill City Museum for every person that registers.
 
Whether you participate as a timed chip runner or take a casual walk with your dog or baby stroller, this is a route that everyone enjoys.
