Race Morning Packet Pick Up (8AM-9AM)

We will be ready for you right at 8:00am, but to give our volunteers plenty of time to set up and get organized please don’t be too early! Your race packet will include your bib and your race t-shirt. There is no t-shirt size swapping on race day. There is no race day registration!

Abby's Run (9:15AM)

All kids are welcome to join Abby's Run on race day in St. Paul! In honor of Abigail Anderson, pediatric nurse, joyful spirit and Gabe's younger sister, we annually host a free kids run at the St. Paul event. No need to register, just line up when the time is right and show us those fast arms and speedy legs! Grown ups can purchase additional youth t-shirts as part of their own registration.

Brave Like Gabe 5K (following Abby's Run ~9:30AM)

We will be lining everyone up for the 5K immediately following Abby’s Run, and the run will follow a course that takes in Como Lake. The route will follow the running/walking paths, and you will see signs along the way helping you stay on track. This is not a closed course so please be respectful of others using the paths. A water stop will be located between miles 1 and 2. The race will be chip timed, and while there won’t be any awards, you are all winners in our hearts! You will receive an email with your race time following the race.

Post-Race Celebration

When you cross the finish line, grab a post-race snack bag! You are welcome to hang around and enjoy the park! We will have a variety of sponsor booths, a photo opportunity, and we’ll have Running on Hope merchandise for sale!

Pre-Race 5K Packet Pick Up

Race packet pick up will be on Wednesday, September 17th, from 4PM - 7PM at Forgotten Star Brewing. We encourage you to pick up your packet at this event, but we also offer packet pick up on race morning.
