Minot Symphony Orchestra Beat Beethoven 5K

The Minot Symphony Orchestra Beat Beethoven 5K is a unique running event held in Minot, North Dakota, at Oak Park. Participants walk, run, or jog a 5K course with the challenge to finish before Beethoven’s 5th Symphony ends, roughly 30–35 minutes. Those who "Beat Beethoven" receive a voucher for a free concert ticket to the MSO’s 100th season, while other finishers get a $5 discount voucher.

Registration includes an official T-shirt if signed up by July 20th. Post-race festivities feature wellness recovery, food trucks, a beer garden, and live music, creating a lively atmosphere. Proceeds support the Minot Symphony Orchestra. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
