Description

Event proceeds support a great cause: the Mayo Clinic Hope Fund. This fund was created to help patients and families in financial need and assists with indirect, unanticipated costs such as food, lodging, and transportation while receiving care at any Mayo Clinic location.

The 2023 Heritage Classic will have in person events at three campuses and continue with a virtual option. Race bibs and chip timing will be back for all in person events along with other exciting activities!

5K Training Plans


Expert Tips

Use these smart training tips as you prepare for the Heritage Classic 5K Run/Walk.

Shoes

Stop by a local running shoe store to make sure you are using a shoe that best fits your foot type.

Slow

No matter how fast or slow you are, it’s important to always follow the rule of never increasing your running mileage by more than 10% each week. This helps prevent injuries.

Support

What drives your motivation? Is it music, friends, being outdoors? Create a playlist on your phone for running, grab a friend to run/walk with, start up a chat group to motivate/support each other, and plan out a few areas in which you can run/walk that will keep you from getting bored.

Schedule

Plan time on your calendar for running just like you’d schedule outings with friends, kids’ sports practices, or getting a haircut.
