As most people from the winter wonderland/frigid Nordic tundra (it’s all a matter of perspective, right?) that is the Minneapolis-St. Paul “Twin Cities” area will tell you, they try to take advantage of the warm summer months by spending as much time outside as possible. This summer, if you’re looking for an active outdoor activity that’s more exciting than your typical Minneapolis 5k runs, check out the Xtreme Air 5k inflatable obstacle course race that’s coming to your area on Saturday, June 25, 2016.

What sets the Xtreme Air 5k apart from other Minneapolis 5k races is that it features 12 inflatable obstacles spread out over a 5k course (to learn more about the obstacles, check out our obstacles overview page). Unlike other adventure/obstacle course style Minneapolis 5k runs that push participants to their grueling limits and ask them to do crazy things like catapult themselves over fire pits or military crawl in the mud under electrified wire, Xtreme Air’s top priority is that you have as much fun as possible in a safe environment. This race is meant to be inclusive and is appropriate for a wide variety of ages and fitness levels. Whether you are gunning to push yourself to your own limits or prefer to walk  between obstacles or even skip obstacles that do not interest you, we encourage everyone to come out and have fun on our unique inflatable obstacle course.

On Saturday, June 25, 2016, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Xtreme Air 5k inflatable obstacle course will be held at Buck Hill, 15400 Buck Hill Road, Burnsville, MN 55306 (click here for directions).
