Bottineau Neighborhood Association

Earth Day 5K Run/Walk

Saturday, April 19, 2008

NE Minneapolis

The Bottineau Neighborhood Association is proud to be able to offer the first 5K run/walk of the year in NE Minneapolis. Join us for a trip down historic Marshall Street, past the old Grainbelt Brewery, across the Mississippi (twice) and back again. Then feel free to enjoy a light breakfast on us, participate in our annual river/watershed clean up or check out some of the environmental education displays. Proceeds from the 5K will be used for our environmental programming and future Earth Day events.
