Race Information

The Jumping Jack Frost 5k was a wintery blast in 2011!  See Harriett Island glisten in the moonlight on this winter night as the Mississippi River sparkles in the background.  Come prepared for the beauty of Minnesota winter with the glow of our amazing capital city as a backdrop.  After the race, stick around and enjoy some warm beverages and great company!

Course Information

The 5k will start just outside of the Harriet Island pavilion.  Following the roadway (Water Street) system, runners will run up the hill from the pavilion towards Water Street.  Runners will stay on the the road as they approach Plato and will continue on Water Street all the way to the turnaround.  As you approach the turnaround you will go clockwise around the cones and waterstop there and continue back on Water Street.  There is a trailhead to the left, if trails are plowed you will utilize the trail system as you head back toward the finish...runners will hop onto the trail and follow the trail system back to the finish line which is on the backside of the Harriet Island Pavilion.  Miles will be marked and the course will be heavy with awesome volunteers!
