Racing in Minnesota

Minnesota runs a year-round race calendar, so there’s almost always a race near you. The calendar is busiest in August, September, and October, with races most often held in Duluth, Minneapolis, Rochester, and Saint Paul.

Races in Minnesota cover thousands of glacial lakes and northern boreal forest near the Boundary Waters, open prairie farmland in the south and west, and river bluffs along the Mississippi. Courses range from forested lakeside trail runs to flat, fast prairie road races.

Conditions vary widely by region across Minnesota, so weather lives where it’s accurate — each race page shows its typical race-day high, low, and rain chance from NOAA climate normals for that venue and date.
