The Red River Run is Minnesota’s second oldest running event, starting and finishing at Rocori High School.
What started out as a way for the Chamber of Commerce in Cold Spring to promote fitness has morphed into the second longest annual road race in Minnesota. It is second only to Grandma’s Marathon, held annually in Duluth Minnesota. The Red River Run is held in conjunction with Cold Springs Hometown Pride Days. Most people would argue that things typically do not get better with age, but the Red River Run is an exception to this rule.
Over the years the Run has seen over 10,000 participants, of every age and skill level, take part in the race. Runners range in age from as young as 2 (1K Fun Run) to over 75 years old and come back annually to run. The purpose of the race has remained unchanged, providing an opportunity to challenge yourself and promote physical fitness. Responsibility for organizing the race has shifted from the Chamber to the ROCORI Booster Club. Countless hours are spent each year preparing for this event. This is truly a community event, with many businesses and individuals pitching in to help make the day successful. It wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and dedication of the committee.
