Participants will be running on a certified road course around beautiful Lake Calhoun. We have many improvements in the works this year to ensure a great experience for all. From check-in till the time you leave, we will be working hard to make this a high quality event for competitive runners and families alike! Of course, at the forefront of it all is our desire to use this event as a springboard to get more meals to hungry children.

With that, please know that 100% of all funds pledged through business sponsorships and individual donors will be put towards the purchase and shipment of highly nutritious Kids Against Hunger meals to Haiti and Honduras. Together, we will make a tremendous difference!
