Get in Gear - 50th Anniversary
Get in Gear is an annual spring event in Minnesota scheduled for April 24, 2027. The program includes multiple race distances, a festival area, and course maps for participants and spectators.
The event program lists these races:
- Old Dutch Little Chippers Sprocket Scamper, race for young children.
- Get in Gear 5K, a short start to spring.
- Get in Gear 10K, course circles the river.
- Get in Gear Medtronic Half Marathon, 13.1-mile distance.
Organizers provide course and festival maps and maintain event support resources such as course support plans and a finish area map. The Twin Cities In Motion app, presented by Medtronic, is promoted as a source for race alerts and participant milestones.
The event describes several sustainability and access efforts. These include a bike valet at Minnehaha Falls Regional Park, reusable silicon cups supplied by Hiccup for fluid stations, and Green Team volunteers who manage waste streams. An Equity in Motion program is noted, offering a limited number of 50% entry fee reductions for eligible participants.
Information on registration, transfer and refund policies, packet pickup options, stroller rules for shorter distances, and a course time limit for the half marathon are provided by the organizer in event materials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
