Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk

20th Annual Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk

September 28, 2024, 9 am

Boom Island Park, 724 Sibley St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413

The 20th Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk fundraising event is co-organized by St. Anthony West Neighborhood Organization (STAWNO) and Sheridan Neighborhood Organization (SNO). We are two adjacent N.E. Minneapolis neighborhoods on the banks of the Mississippi River. Since 2023 we have been building a lasting collaboration for the benefit of our communities and beyond.

The Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk traces a historical, scenic loop along the Mississippi River. This year, due to construction on the Stone Arch Bridge, the race takes a new route. Beginning and ending in the same place as previous years, the new route is as beautiful as ever. Participants trace a path along the Mississippi–through Nicollet Island, around the Stone Arch Bridge neighborhood, across the 3rd Avenue Bridge, and back to Boom Island along the river. Our green city is the backdrop all along the way.

This run/walk fundraising event is for everyone!

Runners enjoy the timed aspect of the 5K–with prizes by Mill City Running given for all age groups! Walkers enjoy the scenery and the accomplishment. Everyone loves the riverfront route, and of course, the free Kramuczuk's brats at the end celebration. There will be swag for all participants, and coffee for the early morning event.

Help actively support our riverfront neighborhoods. All proceeds benefit SNO & STAWNO civic programs.

Mark your calendars. September 28, 2024, 9 am!

Due to construction on the Stone Arch Bridge this year, the Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk will take you through historic Minneapolis along the Mississippi River and over the 3rd Ave Bridge with stunning views of Downtown Minneapolis and St. Anthony Falls. The race starts/ends at Boom Island Park (724 Sibley St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413).

It is the perfect time of year to see the beauty of our tree canopy, river, and cityscape. Whether you participate as a timed chip runner or assemble a group walk, this is a historic route that everyone enjoys. Dogs and strollers are always welcome!

Enjoy Kramarczuk's famous brats hot off the grill at the finish. Cheer for all the winners as Mill City Running sponsors prizes. And all participants receive 5K branded swag!

Proceeds benefit social and civic programming organized by the St Anthony West Neighborhood Organization and the Sheridan Neighborhood Organization–two of the oldest neighborhoods in Minneapolis. Learn more at stawno.org & sheridanneighborhood.org
