Boom Island Park: 700 Sibley Street NE, Minneapolis, United States
One route. Two neighborhoods. All heart.
One of Northeast Minneapolis's most beloved traditions is back for its 22nd year. The Historic Riverfront 5K takes you on a stunning loop along the Mississippi — through Nicollet Island, across the iconic Stone Arch Bridge, and back along the river to Boom Island. Fall foliage, city skyline, flowing water. It doesn't get more Minneapolis than this.
🏅 Compete — Chip-timed with prizes for all age groups, courtesy of Mill City Running
🚶 Explore — Walk the most scenic 5K route in the city at your own pace
🌭 Celebrate — Kramarczuk's famous brats and coffee waiting at the finish line
👕 Rep it — Every participant gets exclusive 5K swag
This is a community event with real impact. Every dollar raised supports civic and social programs run by the St. Anthony West and Sheridan Neighborhood Organizations — two of Minneapolis's oldest neighborhoods, right here on the banks of the Mississippi.

Dogs, strollers, and all paces welcome.
Lace up, hit the river, and help us raise funds for our Minneapolis Neighborhood Organizations! The Historic Riverfront 5K takes you on one of the most scenic routes in the Twin Cities — winding through historic Minneapolis along the Mississippi, across the iconic Stone Arch Bridge, with sweeping views of Downtown and St. Anthony Falls. Start and finish at Boom Island Park (724 Sibley St NE).
Late summer is peak season for this route. The tree canopy is popping, the river is gorgeous, and the cityscape doesn't hurt either. Come to race, come to stroll, come to show off your dog or push a stroller — everyone's welcome, every pace is valid.
After the finish line? Kramarczuk's brats, hot off the grill. You've earned it.
Top finishers (men's, women's, 65+, and 18 & under) take home prizes courtesy of Mill City Running — and every participant walks away with branded 5K swag.
Best of all, your entry fee goes toward social and civic programming run by the St. Anthony West and Sheridan Neighborhood Organizations — two of Minneapolis's oldest and most storied communities. Learn more at stawno.org & sheridanneighborhood.org.
