About the event

Step into an unconventional world of running as Minneapolis transforms its Skyway System into a one-of-a-kind course for the Skyway 5K. On January 23, 2027, runners will navigate through over 30 buildings above bustling city streets, experiencing this iconic network from a fresh and exhilarating angle. The race offers twists and turns at every corner, along with stunning views that make it more than just another run; it’s an adventure in the heart of downtown Minneapolis.
Whether you're an experienced runner or simply looking for something unique to add to your bucket list, the Skyway 5K promises a memorable experience. With no need to worry about weather conditions, traffic, or road hazards, focus solely on navigating through this indoor labyrinth and enjoying the distinct atmosphere that only the Minneapolis Skyways can offer.
Registration is limited, so secure your spot early for this exclusive event. Pick up your race packet by mail two weeks before the race, during a week-of location (TBD), or directly at Target Field on race day itself. Don't miss out on making history as one of the first to run through Minneapolis' Skyway System in its inaugural 5K edition!
