Going Bananas Run Duluth, MN   Jun 7, 2025

The Going Bananas Run is the first-of-its-kind Duluth fun run where your speed can raise money for charity. Each racer receives their very own banana suit to run in as you make your way through an exciting Duluth course. You’d better split though, because after 3 minutes we release “The Gorilla.” “The Gorilla” is our inside man; boy, does he love chasing bananas. Those who beat the gorilla to the finish receive a special prize, and money will be donated to a local food shelf. Do you have what it takes to beat “The Gorilla”?

The Going Bananas Run is perfect for runners of all levels. The “two-ish” mile course lets you peel away from the ordinary and be the star of the show, with hundreds of adoring fans—or at least people wondering what the heck is going on.
