Xtreme Air 5K at Buck Hill
2016-06-25 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Buck Hill, 15400 Buck Hill Road, Burnsville, MN, 55306, United States
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).

Hoigaard's 2016 BIG ISLAND & BACK 10K PADDLE
2016-08-14 10:00 - 13:00 | Excelsior Beach, Lake Street, Excelsior, 55331, United States
Tune up your canoe, kayak or paddleboard and head on over to Excelsior on Sunday, August 14th for a friendly race out around Big Island and back. We start near the swim area at Excelsior Beach Park. Our goal is to get paddlers of all ages and skill levels out on Lake Minnetonka for a great community summer event and raise money for a couple of worthy causes.
Don’t miss the after-party at Excelsior Brewing Company beginning at 11 AM for refreshments from the Suburban Restaurant, music and of course, beer! Awards and door prizes at 12 noon. Make a day of it and explore beautiful Excelsior!
Proceeds from the race entry fees will be donated to the ICA Food Shelf program and the Freshwater Society! Thank you for your support!
