Get ready for a unique and exhilarating experience at the inaugural Minot Symphony Orchestra Beat Beethoven 5K on Sunday, July 27, 2025, in Minot, Ward! This exciting event invites participants to walk, run, or jog a 5K, challenging themselves to finish before Beethoven's iconic 5th Symphony concludes—aiming for a time of approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Those who cross the finish line in time will not only have the pride of beating the great composer but will also earn a voucher for a FREE concert ticket to the MSO's spectacular 100th season (excluding holiday and live film concerts). All other finishers will receive a $5 discount voucher for tickets.

Registration includes a stylish official T-shirt (available until July 20th), and the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! After the race, participants can enjoy post-race recovery by Ascend Wellness MBS, along with delicious offerings from food trucks, a refreshing beer garden, and live music by Soulshine at Oak Park starting at 7 PM, as part of MACA's Arts in the City celebration. Join us for a day filled with music, fitness, and community spirit, all while supporting the Minot
