Going Bananas Run - Twin Cities

The Going Bananas Run - Twin Cities is a fun run covering 2 Miles held at 4787 Shoreline Dr, Spring Park, MN. The event is open to all ages and takes place on a Twin Cities course. Registration and participation details are organized by the event team.

Each participant receives a banana suit to wear during the race. Two minutes after the start, a costumed "Gorilla" is released to chase runners in banana suits. Organizers describe the Gorilla as an inside character who pursues those wearing banana suits as part of the event format.

Runners who reach the finish line ahead of the Gorilla receive a special prize. Money raised by the event is donated to Gold Together for Childhood Cancer. The event description notes the combination of a costume element and a chase format as the core features that determine prizes and charitable giving.
