Description

The 7th annual Earth Day 5K Bee Run/Walk/River Cleanup, Boom Island Park, Minneapolis, in the only National Park offering scenic views of the Mississippi River! 

Family-friendly (bring those strollers!) and dogs welcome on a course that travels through one of the city's most historic and naturally beautiful areas. 

Before and following the 5K learn about efforts to protect pollinators, and enjoy live music, entertainment, and Earth Day festivities. Take part in an organized river cleanup.

Support the Great River Coalition as we and our partners develop a Pollinator Pathway of critical habitat in Minneapolis, with plans to extend the pathway from the headwaters of the Mississippi at Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico.

Save our bees and their habitat by participating in this National Movement!

  • 4 tickets to a regular-season Vikings game in U.S. Bank Stadium (row 12, tier 1, value $600)
  • HD Flat-screen Smart TV
  • And much more!

Costumes are most welcome. Prizes for the best! Name your Team! Swarms encouraged!
