RBC Race for the Kids features 3 Mile, 5 Mile, and 10 Mile running options, plus a short Kids Run. All fitness levels are welcome. The race begins and ends at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, with a course along the Mississippi River.
This Minnesota race started in 2014. It generates over $50,000 each year for Ronald McDonald House Charities Upper Midwest, providing lodging for children facing medical crises. The event is a worldwide effort supporting youth. Participants get a performance shirt and a finisher medal. Children aged 10 and under run a 0.30-mile course, often with a parent. Post-race, children enjoy games and prizes in the race village.
