About this race
22nd Annual Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk
Date: September 26, 2026
Time: 9 AM
Location: Boom Island Park, 724 Sibley St NE, Minneapolis
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.
