Event Day Information

The run will take place at the Minnetonka Community Education Center and Deephaven Elementary. Participants should park on the MCEC and Deephaven Elementary campus, please note that there is no parking on Vine Hill Road. Check-in will be open from 5:25–5:45 PM, with the first heat beginning promptly at 6 PM. Runners will be assigned to one of five heats based on grade level, and heat lists will be posted near the start line. The one-mile route will be staffed for safety. There will be a race clock at the finish line so runners can see their time; however, individual chip timing will not be provided. Spectators are welcome to cheer from designated viewing areas near the start and finish lines, but we ask that everyone remain out of the wooded course area for safety.
