An organized run through the Big Woods State Park is happening again this year! St John’s United Church of Christ is once again planning the Big Woods Run, a race that takes runners through one of the best hardwood forests in southern Minnesota. Saturday, September 28, 2024 is the date to pull on your running shoes and enjoy this scenic trek. The Big Woods should be in prime color for the runners and spectators.
The schedule of events includes a half marathon, 10k, 5k and a kids 1k. The half marathon will take runners through beautiful wooded scenery with challenging hills. The 10k and 5k runners will enjoy a fairly flat wooded trail course. The half marathon and 10k races begin at 9:00am at St John’s UCC, 19086 Jacobs Ave, Faribault. 5k runners will take a shuttle bus from the church to the starting line in the middle of the park. 5k runners must be on the bus no later that 8:40am. The kids k begins at 10:30 at the church. Runners can register online at www.finalstretch.com. Race day registration is 7:15am-8:45am at the church.
Proceeds from the Big Woods Run are donated to local charities. Over $150,000 has been distributed in the years of the event!
