5K Course Map
The Downtown Run Around features a 5K two-lap loop course on the University of Minnesota campus. The course will be on the sidewalks and streets of the campus, including a crossing of the Mississippi River with beautiful views of the river, city skyline and Bohemian Flats. While the course won’t be closed, there will be very little other traffic and the race will be chip-timed. The course will start and finish on the lawn of Northrop Auditorium Plaza (84 Church St SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455).
For our Virtual 5K you run wherever you choose! To mix things up you could run one of your usual routes at an unusual time of day, try a trail if you usually run on roads, or be creative and explore a new area of your own downtown or use mapping software (like MapMyRun) to design your own course that draws a picture). You can track your route using a GPS watch, Strava, Map My Run, or other distance app. Wherever you decide to run, we’d love to see pictures and hear your story on the MiMS Community Facebook page!
The kids' 1/2-mile race will take place on the Northrop Mall.
