This exciting event now in its second year is a chance for youth participants to run a timed indoor Mile and Half Mile run. The event takes place at the University of Minnesota Fieldhouse on the 200 meter track used by the Big Ten athletes when they compete in the Big Ten Indoor Track Championships.
The Fieldhouse is all decked out in festive running plumage. All participants receive medal and a piece of winter running apparel as they cross the finish line. All participants will have a chance to meet some of the University of Minnesota Track and Cross Country Team women athletes who will lead warmups and act as cheerleaders.
A special part of the event day is geared towards schools and youth programs, teachers, coaches and their classes. Special incentives and awards are available for programs and schools who sign up, log their miles and participate on race day. Click on the tab for Schools and Organizations for more information. This event counts towards the RBC Wealth Management $2500 cumulative running miles prize.
Families with children who participate in this event are also eligible for special incentives and gift cards. Make sure you record your training miles and you too, will become eligible.
