Do you like candy? Terrific: this race is for you! They’ve been begging for it, so September 17th we’re bringing The Great Candy Run to the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie. The Great Candy Run Minneapolis features candy-themed nostalgia and fun for grown-ups, and sweet, fit memory-making for kids. There’s prize money and awards for costumes, too!
This family fun event combines treats and fitness, and includes a tiny tot run and a timed 5k. Thousands line the streets of Denver every year for this crowd favorite — Minneapolis is going to love it! Our Minneapolis Race Director, Stacy Hvinden, headed out to the race location at beautiful Staring Lake to give us a preview.
The setting for the race is perfect: we will be running one of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes! Our race will begin and end on the beautiful trail that surrounds Staring Lake. Can you imagine how much fun this will be with CANDY? See you September 17th, Minnesota! The Great Candy Run Minneapolis is the benefit event for the Fetal Health Foundation.
