FAQ
Route
This course weaves through the St. Paul Skyway system, carrying you past city landmarks and familiar buildings in a completely new way.
Not your typical 5k
Unlike a traditional outdoor road race, this course features stairs, turns, and changes in flooring as it moves through connected buildings and skyways. Participants should expect a dynamic route that feels more like navigating the city than running a straight-line course. Wether you’re walking or running, staying aware and running at a comfortable pace is encouraged.
The course is designed to be ADA compliant, utilizing accessible routes within the skyway system. The course includes posted detours for stairs (to elevators) to accommodate participants with mobility needs.
