Minneapolis Running has Retired

After six glorious years, Minneapolis Running has been retired. Between a cross-country move and four young kids, our priorities have shifted to new opportunities and new projects. We want to thank the readers, contributors, and sponsors for all the support along the way. Keep running and remember, you’re probably faster than you think you are!

Join the Boston Strong Minneapolis Run

, ,

Last Monday, the running community was rocked when bombs were detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Three lives were lost and nearly 200 others suffered injuries. Amidst this chaos and heartache, so many stories of bravery and hope have emerged. Although the suspects have been caught, many questions remain.

In a very small act of solidarity, Minneapolis Running, in partnership with run blogger Pavement Runner, is helping to organize a memorial run with over 100 other cities nation wide. The Boston Strong Minneapolis is taking place 7:00 am, Monday April 22. We will meet outside the Wilde Roast Cafe on St. Anthony main. One week after the horrific events, we run to honor those impacted by those events.

It will be very low key and informal. We encourage you to donate to the One Fund if you feel so inclined. We will not be taking a collection.

RSVP via Facebook, or just show up. Follow the run on Twitter at #BostonStrongMPLS. We hope to see you tomorrow.

Update

We had approximately 25 people show up to run for Boston Strong Minneapolis and show their support of the tragic event. Fox9, 6News, and WCCO showed up to cover our run.

5 Reasons to Volunteer for a Twin Cities in Motion Race

When I broke my toe less than a week before the Twin Cities in Motion Hot Dash, I decided that I would volunteer if I couldn’t run. I’m so glad that I did! Kelli, Volunteer & Community Outreach Manager at TCM, was amazing and let me wait until the day before the race to decide if I would volunteer because I was still holding out hope my toe would magically heal.

Meet Run Beer Repeat – A Social Running Club

Run Beer Repeat was started in the summer of 2014 by Derek Allmendinger, who is currently the Head Brewer at Unmapped Brewing Company. After the birth of his first daughter, Derek decided to start a running streak in order to improve his health and set a good example for his children. He made it 252 days before injuries caught up with him, but it led him to the decision to meet other craft beer enthusiasts shared his love of running. Derek contacted some people he knew in the craft beer community and the group’s first run was in May of 2014. Derek, and Dave and Audrey Royer attended the first official club run at Republic in Uptown. Ever since then the group has been running around the Cities and continuing to grow.

Train, Race & Celebrate at the Hot Chocolate 15K/5K

There are many races to choose from this spring but the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k in Minneapolis sets itself apart as one of the best, and sweetest in town! If you’re new to the Hot Chocolate series, know this: this ain’t no rinky-dink run with a bar of chocolate at the finish. No, the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k is a different kind of race entirely, and one that you really, really don’t want to miss.
