Pop-Up 5Ks

Since so many of our 5K registrants are from outside Minnesota, we are partnering with running groups + stores in several cities to gather together in honor of Gabe.

Here's how this works:

- If you are in one of the cities listed, please register for the Pop-Up Brave Like Gabe 5K.

- Check the box next to the city you'll be in on race day.

- Your pop-up registration includes a race shirt, bib, sticker and tattoo.

- If you register 3 or more people at once, please use the code GROUP at checkout to receive 10% off your registration.

- Pick up your race packet at your local store/group meet location.

- Run together on race day!
