The Great Northern Winter Run
About the race
Every winter, The Great Northern Winter Festival brings people together to embrace the coldest season of the year with outdoor adventure, live music, art, and community celebration.
This year marks our 10th anniversary, and we're celebrating with The Great Northern Winter Run on Saturday, January 30th.
Your race bib is your festival pass. Cross the finish line and head straight in, no separate ticket needed. Grab a drink at the ice bar, warm up at a vendor village, and spend the rest of the day enjoying live music, art, and outdoor activities.
The course
The course follows the Mississippi and begins and ends right in the festival grounds.

City insight: Minneapolis
Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota, USA, and the county seat of Hennepin County, on both banks of the Upper Mississippi River. It had 429,954 residents at the 2020 census and adjoins Saint Paul, the state capital, as part of the Twin Cities. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are hot and humid, so late spring and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
