Tonka Band on the Run 5k

Introducing the 1st annual Minnetonka Band on the Run 5K.  
This exciting new family friendly event mixes running, with amazing Minnetonka youth playing all types of music along the route.  Minnetonka Band on the Run 5k, on May 18th and is produced by the Minnetonka Band Boosters.  All proceeds are to benefit and grow the districts band programs.  Your support increases access to music to youth of all ages.  If you are like us, that is music to your ears. www.tonkabandrun.com.   

Register To Run/Walk: Join us to run or walk a scenic course at Minnetonka High School while enjoying great music performed by youth from the Tonka Band Program. With awards for costumes – not race times – music fans of all ages and fitness levels can get their groove on and have FUN.  Invite everyone you know to get their groove on, in this case the more the much more merry. http://tonkabandrun.com/Register.htm 

Be A Virtual Runner:
 Support the band while sleeping in by signing up to be a virtual runner.  Virtual runners are thanked on the website – these donations go straight to helping us grow the band – so thank you – and if you do get up, come down and check out the great music.  Oh yeah, we will be sending a GoPro video of “your” run post race.  http://tonkabandrun.com/Register.htm 

Register for Kids Fun Run:
 Kids 12 and under can be a part of our Fun Run  - 100 yard dash - on the track at Minnetonka High School. Every child that registers gets a musical surprise bag so they can make beautiful music with the Minnetonka Band after they run.  http://tonkabandrun.com/Register.htm
