Running to a Sweet Beet 5K
The Running to a Sweet Beet 5K is an athletic event held in Renville, Minnesota, organized in conjunction with the local Renville Sugar Beet Days. The race is an approved part of the Glacial Lakes Championship Running Series and features a chip-timed 3.106 mile course. Participants follow a double loop route that primarily utilizes city streets, with a short section on gravel surfaces.
The event serves as a fundraiser for the fight against cancer. The Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative sponsors the run, allowing all registration fees to be donated to the Renville County Walk in the Park. This initiative has been active since 2010.
The race is open to various age groups, with specific divisions for male and female participants ranging from 10 and under to 85 and over.
