I need to register for an organized run, so I have a little extra motivation to keep getting out and slipping on the running shoes. I'm sure there are thousands of them across the city this summer, but what ones are the most fun to do? I'm thinking something like 10k distance, maybe half-marathon.

I have not done these, but they sound like a bunch of fun (particularly the adventure races):

Treasured Haven Farm Trail Runs & Cross Country Running Adventures

Also not in the city, but relatively close.

They are everywhere (though I'm probably the worst person to ask!).

There is a Get in Gear event on April 28 (5k, 10k, half), there are several large races/marathons that usually have a half and/or 10k associated...(one in June...Twin Cities marathon? or is that the October one?) I did a 'rock and roller skate' race in July - they have a 5k and half I believe that you can run and/or skate...it was timed, well organized...I'd recommend it.

There's usually one around 4th of July that runs downtown mpls...

Honestly, google twin cities races....there should be at least one if not several sites that can link you to individual events.

There's on in September similar to this - 5k (maybe more distances) around lake calhoun...same idea: to support cancer awareness maybe?
