Run the Ritter

Run The Ritter is a trail running event held in Lakeville, Minnesota, offering 3-mile, 5-mile, and 10-mile race options, along with a Canicross division for runners with dogs. The course features a 5-mile loop of wide, non-technical trails with rolling hills, some rocks, and a short gravel road section, totaling 525 feet of ascent. Designed for both new and experienced trail runners, the race provides a cross-country style experience without single-track trails.

The event is well-organized with enthusiastic volunteers, clear course markings, and aid stations. It is praised for its scenic views and serves as a popular end-of-season trail run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
