Visit the race website

Mostly flat, asphalt or dirt/packed gravel track, 2.14 mile loop around Snelling Lake. 

The mission

The FANS race is the sole financial support for a college scholarship program for at-risk inner-city youth in Minneapolis; over $1,000,000 has been given to more than 140 graduates since 1989.

The races

Runners and walkers cover as much distance as possible in 6, 12 or 24 hours, paying registration fees or gathering per-mile or flat-rate pledges to support their efforts. 100% of pledges are directed toward the scholarship fund rather than overhead expenses, and race organizers volunteer their time.
