Race Spotlight
Mendota Bottoms Trail Run Saturday, August 20th
Mendota Bottoms Trail Run is a 10-Mile and 5k race on the Ft. Snelling State Park trail along the Minnesota River across the river from Ft. Snelling. The courses are out and back and have only one hill. Proceeds from the run will be donated to the Ft. Snelling State Park, so that they can continue to maintain the awesome trail. Last year’s proceeds were used to fill a hole that formed the last two years from the flooding and run off. Registration includes a finisher t-shirt hoodie, a post-race domestic tap or non-alcoholic beverage at Lucky’s 13 and entry in to drawings for swag from our sponsors and Mountain Goat Running.
