Event summary

Get ready for a unique and exhilarating experience at the Going Bananas Run in Duluth, St. Louis, on Saturday, May 30th, 2026! This fun-filled charity event invites participants to don their very own banana suits as they race through a vibrant course, all while raising money for a great cause. The thrill doesn’t stop there – after just two minutes of racing, The Gorilla is released to chase down the banana-clad runners! Those who manage to outpace The Gorilla and cross the finish line will earn a special prize, while funds will be donated to a local food shelf.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind event that promises laughter, excitement, and a sense of community, as we aim to exceed last year's participation of over 430 bananas and hit the goal of over 1,000 this time around! Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun day out, the Going Bananas Run is an event you won’t want to miss!

Organiser's Description

The Going Bananas Run is the first-of-its-kind fun run where your speed can raise money for charity. Each racer receives their very own banana suit to run in as you make your way through an exciting Duluth course. Youd better split though, because after 2 minutes we release The Gorilla. The Gorilla is our inside man; boy, does he love chasing bananas. Those who beat the gorilla to the finish receive a special prize, and money will be donated to a local food shelf. Do you have what it takes to beat The Gorilla?

In year 1 we had over 430 bananas, in year 2 we are going for over 1,000!
