Cloquet River Run - Cloquet, Minnesota - Running

The Cloquet River Run is a Running race in Cloquet, Minnesota consisting of a 5K.

The Cloquet River Run is a fundraising activity that promotes healthy lifestyles in our children and community. Beginning in 2007, people of all ages have participated in the 1 mile or 5K run/walk. Many people also come out to volunteer and cheer! Both races start and end at the Churchill Elementary School Playground. The little kids race gives children up to age 6 the opportunity to participate on a short sprint on the playground field. The vision of this event has expanded and evolved into a very popular family-friendly yet challenging opportunity for health and fitness. It is a fun community event and includes a wonderful spaghetti feed at packet pick-up the night before. Kids are very involved from designing the artwork for the race shirts to providing entertainment at the pasta feed. They also participate in a practice 1 mile run/walk a few weeks before the event at school! Race proceeds will go toward health-related equipment and programs and technology purchases for Churchill Elementary School.
