Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk
The Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk is a timed 5K (3.1 miles) held on Boom Island in Northeast Minneapolis. The event has been planned and hosted by the St. Anthony West Neighborhood Organization (STAWNO) Fundraising Committee since 2005 and regularly features runners, walkers, and four-legged participants. Prizes and annual achievements are part of the event program, and recurring sponsors include Mill City Running and Kramarczuck’s.
Since 2023 the race has been run in partnership with the Sheridan Neighborhood Organization (SNO). The event raises funds for neighborhood initiatives and programs run by STAWNO and SNO that aim to bring neighbors into contact, support civic engagement, and create local opportunities to improve the neighborhood.
Registration opens each year in mid-summer with pre-registration options; in-person registration and early packet pick up are available the days before the race at Mill City Running, which offers a 20% discount on regular-priced merchandise for in-store pick up. Same-day registration is available at Boom Island. Volunteer opportunities are coordinated by the Fundraising Committee and slots are typically available for community members who wish to assist.
