Get in Gear
Get in Gear is a spring running event in Minnesota scheduled for April 24, 2027. The event marks its 50th anniversary in 2027 and includes multiple race distances and a family-oriented kids sprint.
The event features several operational and access policies that apply to participants. An Equity in Motion program offers 50% off the entry fee for a limited number of participants. Registered participants and volunteers receive free access to Metro Transit bus and light rail on race day. The event uses reusable silicon cups at fluid stations and operates a bike valet at Minnehaha Falls Regional Park near the beer garden. A Green Team helps direct waste into the correct streams.
Race administration details include refund and transfer rules. Refunds are available within 48 hours of registration and until five days before the event. Entries may be transferred to another person or switched to another distance before April 23, 2027, subject to availability and transfer fees. One person may pick up another participant’s packet by completing an authorization form at packet pick up.
The event allows strollers in any 5K or shorter race with a special waiver and stroller bib. Dogs and other pets are asked to remain at the sidelines and outside the Finish Controlled Zone. Half marathon participants must maintain a 13:44 per-mile pace due to course limits.
