Run/Walk Details
Frontrunners Mpls-St.Paul currently has two weekly runs/walks, Sunday and Saturday. Note the different times. All routes are approximately 3.0 to 3.5 miles, with shorter distances for walkers. Each run/walk will have a social time afterward at a local restaurant or coffee shop. See below for details. Important: Be sure to also follow Frontrunners' Facebook Group for weekly run/walk notifications (usually sent on Fridays) for details on any cancelations or changes as sometimes alternative routes may be taken. Notably, the last weekend of the month we always switch things up, so the locations below are not correct on the last weekend of the month. You must join the Facebook group to find us on those weekends. Any fitness level is welcome at any run/walk. We look forward to seeing you at one of these times.

The group meets under the Hennepin Avenue bridge on Nicollet Island near the corner of E Island Avenue and DeLaSalle Drive. Free parking is generally available along E Island Drive, or access is also possible via the many bus routes that cross the Hennepin Avenue bridge. The route heads south/east along the river to the Stone Arch Bridge, which it then crosses. It then proceeds back west/north along the river to 8th Ave, over the Plymouth Bridge to Boom Island, and then back along the trails of Boom and Nicollet Islands to the starting point. Social time after is at a local restaurant offering brunch, usually either Pivo (formerly known as Wilde) or Aster Cafe.
