Event Overview

22nd Annual Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk

Date: September 26, 2026

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.
