Midnight Sun Midnight Run 2026

The Midnight Sun Midnight Run begins at 11:59 p.m. in Duluth, Minnesota. Runners depart from Canal Park as one of the year's longest days transitions into night. This is an annual 5K with a 350-participant limit, centered on its midnight start rather than a large-scale race event. The start and finish are located at Sister City Park next to Endion Station, keeping the race within Duluth’s Canal Park area. Runners collect bibs at the start line late in the evening. The event signals the start of summer with a limited field, straightforward organization, and a finish period extending into the early morning.
