Join Us for our Spring Races
Ron Daws 8K & 25K
Wirth Trail Classic, 4 Mile & Kids Run
This race commemorates Ron Daws, a 1968 Olympic marathoner and one of the founders of Run Minnesota. Ron trained on this same course in the lead-up for the Boston Marathon, where he had two top-5 finishes.
This hilly road course is great preparation for spring/summer marathons and for trail runners looking to get some hills in with better footing.
