This event, timed for Minnesota Food Share Month, encourages participants to bring food donations to help reach a collective goal of 70,000 pounds, turning every step into direct nourishment for neighbors in need. With a costume contest, a green carpet photo area, and a scenic out-and-back course, it's a perfect St. Patrick's Day outing for runners and walkers of all ages.
