811 Run/Walk

The 811 5k Run/Walk is a family-friendly event held at Thomas Beach, Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis, MN. This 5-kilometer run/walk promotes safe digging and damage prevention awareness. Participants can bring strollers and pets, and a free kids' race for children 10 and under follows the main event.

The race offers t-shirts, swag bags, water, and snacks. All proceeds benefit the Twin Cities Firefighters Operation Warm, a nonprofit providing warm winter coats to Minnesota children in need. The event features a vendor fair and is supported by numerous sponsors from the utility and energy sectors, creating a community-focused and charitable atmosphere.
