Event Overview
The Wooza Palooza is a local community running event organized by Mile in My Shoes. It takes place at the Normandale Lake Bandshell Park in Bloomington, Minnesota. This gathering serves as an All Team Race where participants from various groups come together to run and interact. The event is hosted by an organization that focuses on using movement as a catalyst for social justice, working specifically with individuals in homeless shelters, addiction recovery programs, and re-entry centers.
Participation Details
The event is open to any member of the community. Registration for the races is free of charge, although the organizers accept donations to support their mission. It is important to note that this is a non-competitive community run and the event will not be chip-timed.

- 5 km
- 10 km
The event emphasizes collective transformation and social connection by bringing together a diverse group of people, including residents from various programs and run mentors, to find common ground through physical activity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
