Do you like candy? Terrific: this race is for you!

They’ve been begging for it, so September 17th we’re bringing The Great Candy Run to the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie. The Great Candy Run Minneapolis features candy-themed nostalgia and fun for grown-ups, and sweet, fit memory-making for kids.  There’s prize money and awards for costumes, too!

This family fun event combines  treats and fitness, and includes a tiny tot run and a timed 5k.  Thousands line the streets of Denver every year for this crowd favorite: Minneapolis is going to love it!

Stacy Hvinden, our Minneapolis Race Director, can’t wait!  She headed out to the race location to give us a preview.
