2019 Root Beer Run

Thank You To Our Sponsors!
The Root Beer Run is open to all people from throughout the community who want to be active in our parks and who enjoy root beer with or without ice cream. Participants choose to run, walk, or stroll either a 1⁄2 mile or full mile and then receive root beer after they cross the finish line. 100% of all registration fees are donated to People for Parks, a Minneapolis nonprofit that sponsors programs and projects to enhance and promote our city’s parks.

Yes, we know this event is on Mother's Day and we can't think of a more fun or healthier way to spend time with your family! Think of it as the alternative to brunch!

Visit us at Open Streets!

Open Streets Minneapolis is a free event series that opens city streets to folks biking, walking, and rolling. These events are hosted by Our Streets Minneapolis, a local nonprofit organization, in partnership with the City of Minneapolis.

        We will be at the Lyndale Open Streets on June 2

Open Streets Minneapolis gets folks out of their cars so neighbors can explore their communities in a whole new way. Open Streets Minneapolis invites people to be curious about their city as they discover local businesses, use active transportation, view live performances, create art, and make connections with those around them.
