Run Minnesota

Run Minnesota Run Minnesota is the oldest and largest running organization in Minnesota. Who is Run Minnesota? In fact, we were the 8th running organization in the country.

We’ve been around for a while and have come a long way since our humble beginnings. Sure, we’ve had a rebrand and a name change. However, at the end of the day we’re still a non-profit, membership-based organization inspired to motivate runners across the North Star State and beyond! What Does Run Minnesota Do? RACE

We organize our own budget-friendly Run Minnesota races with discounts for our me

mbers in thanks for their support. You can also find races in Minnesota using our online calendar where other local race organizers can submit events free of charge. TRAIN

We help runners train. Wondering how to start running? Want to train for a marathon? We offer group training classes in the Twin Cities and free 5k and 10k training plans for our members. INSPIRE

We proudly host inclusive and welcoming weekly group runs in the Twin Cities. Looking for a run club near you? Wondering where to buy your next pair of shoes? We are all about providing resources and support! Check out our page dedicated to running groups in Minnesota to connect with runners in your area. ADVOCATE

We advocate for running. Run Minnesota provides input on projects that impact our running community. We also operate a foundation that funds grants to support local running. Let’s Join Forces

We are driven to help inspire, support, and advocate for all runners because we do, feel, and run our best when we’re together. We’re here for the long run and we hope you’ll join us.

You do not have to be fast to belong here!

The Summer Training Program is built for runners at every level, from first-time 5K participants to experienced marathoners chasing a new goal. What makes this program work is the community behind it. Coaches, team leads, and runners all showing up together through the heat, long runs, and training blocks that make fall racing possible. This is a place where people train hard, encourage each other, and grow together over time.

Join the community and run your way this summer. Registration ends soon! https://runminnesota.sportngin.com/register/form/747465414

Showing up is easier when you are not doing it alone.

Runners who train with structure and support are more likely to stay consistent and enjoy the process along the way. With guidance from coaches and encouragement from your group, you can build momentum that lasts beyond a single workout or week.

Commit to the process and see what you can build this season. Join the summer training program: https://runminnesota.sportngin.com/register/form/747465414
