The Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk

Sat 26th September 2026

Five runners participating in a race head down a gravel path surrounded by green trees and sunlight. Some wear numbered bibs, and the overall setting appears to be a park or nature trail. Several people walk or run on a wide road under a clear blue sky; some wear athletic gear and race bibs, surrounded by open space and sparse greenery. People at an outdoor event booth under white tents, with autumn decorations and a large “5K” sign on display. One person is standing and another is sitting at the table, with morning sunlight on the scene.

Organiser's Description

One route. Two neighborhoods. All heart.

One of Northeast Minneapolis's most beloved traditions is back for its 22nd year. The Historic Riverfront 5K takes you on a stunning loop along the Mississippi — through Nicollet Island, across the iconic Stone Arch Bridge, and back along the river to Boom Island. Fall foliage, city skyline, flowing water. It doesn't get more Minneapolis than this.
