From the Organizer
A quaint 4.4 mile run/walk through the woods, trails, and back-roads of Brimson, Minnesota with a special nod to the Finnish heritage of the area. All proceeds from this annual race go to Minnesota’s 2025 Fire Department of the Year, your Brimson Area Volunteer Fire Department!
We continue to offer a virtual option if you can't make it to the race in person. Prizes based on your finish will be awarded in person on the day of the race. Virtual participants will be entered into a raffle and will be selected at random. Virtual participants will register as a virtual runner and will submit times on the honor system.
We are looking for local artists, artisans, businesses, and makers willing to donate their creations to our raffle. Please contact us today if you would like to make a donation.
