About

Who is Run Minnesota?

Run Minnesota is the oldest and largest running organization in Minnesota. In fact, we were the 8th running organization in the country. We’ve been around for a while and have come a long way since our humble beginnings.

Sure, we’ve had a rebrand and a name change. However, at the end of the day we’re still a non-profit, membership-based organization inspired to motivate runners across the North Star State and beyond!

What Does Run Minnesota Do?
