French 5K

French Regional Park is a fantastic city park with a great circuit of trails. The ESTRS French 5K course consists of a fun and very runnable 5K loop – there are a few steep hills thrown in, just for fun. *Note that there will be no aid stations at 5KM or shorter races this year so if you need water please carry a water bottle.

About the Endless Summer Trail Run Series:
Remember when you were young and the summer days were hot, relaxing and seemingly endless? Well, as adults we still get that but usually only on weekends and holidays… until now. The Endless Summer Trail Run Series is the brain-child of two passionate Minnesota trail-running main-stays – Rocksteady Running and Twin Cities Running Company. The series was created to provide low-key, low-pressure trail running / racing opportunities for people of all ages, abilities and levels of experience. Whether you are a seasoned trail or road racer, first time trail-racer, need a tune-up for your next race, need to get in some speed-work or just want to have some pizza, pop and beer with us at the finish – running one or all of the races in the series is for you. The Endless Summer Trail Run Series has garnered a strong local following and has gotten significant national media coverage as one of the best organized and most well attended trail running series in the country!

There will be Pizza, Pop and Beer after the race – please stick around and meet some new people – this is what this race is all about – enjoying Summer to its fullest, meeting new people and our awesome local trail-running COMMUNITY! * Please note that if you would like to have a beer after the race, you will need to show ID just as you would have to at a bar / restaurant, once you show your ID you will get a wrist-band… we prefer you have your ID when you pick up your race number but you can show it later as well.
