Going Bananas Run - Twin Cities

The Going Bananas Run - Twin Cities is a Saturday morning fun run held in Spring Park, Minnesota, along Shoreline Drive. Each participant receives a banana suit, transforming the field into a mix of racers and a walking costume joke. The event takes place from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM CDT, with registration set at $48.70, inclusive of fees. The unique element is the pursuit: "The Gorilla" begins chasing the runners two minutes after their start. Those who cross the finish line ahead of the gorilla receive a distinct award. This event is presented as a novel fun run where faster running can contribute to charity, with proceeds benefiting Gold Together for Childhood Cancer.
