À propos de l'événement
The Outlaw Run is a 5K/15K run and walk, hosted by the Northfield Historical Society in Northfield, MN. It takes place during the Defeat of Jesse James Days Celebration the Sunday after Labor Day. Both the 5K and 15K race takes place on a certified route. The run is the Northfield Historical Society's largest fundraiser of the year.
Why the Outlaw Run?
On September 7, 1876, the James-Younger Gang robbed the First National Bank of Northfield. Two Northfield men were killed. The townspeople fought the gang and ran them out of town. A posse was formed and for two weeks after the robbery, the gang was pursued. They were finally apprehended in Madelia, MN. The name of our run, the Outlaw Run, does not seek to glorify the outlaws but to remember the men who chased after the robbers when the outlaws ran from Northfield.
