Plan on joining us at The Onion Grille following the race. They will be opening early for us at 10:30.

Unofrtunately, the City of Hastings is NOT dog-friendly in places where food is being served so we can't bring along our furry friends...ugh!! But we'll still have a good time.
ANIMAL ARK
We will be running to raise awareness and funds for Animal Ark. At Animal Ark we embrace and follow a no kill philosophy in our work to Rescue, Rehabilitate, & Re-home Minnesota’s lost and homeless companion animals every year. We are honored to have the opportunity to serve these amazing animals, their new adoptive families, and the many communities across Minnesota. While nothing can compare to the comforts of home, Animal Ark strives to provide an enriching environment for our shelter animals. With Animal Ark’s staff providing basic medical care and keeping of our shelter animals, a dedicated group of volunteers provides the next level of care, making the rehabilitation of these wonderful animals possible.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This scenic out and back route will take us along the Mississippi River Regional Trail.
